Former colonists who arrived in Picton on the Carnatic, in 1875, met for their Golden Jubilee in Blenheim, in 1925. Twenty-three of the original 297 artisan workers met to retell experiences from the voyage, and events in their lives over the years. All told, only 40 could be traced, and several sent in apologies for absence. Those present included: H. Boyce; A. Craven; R. Flint; W. Jordan; J. Leslie; E. Rabbits; C. Tapp; C. White. 2009.067.0020
