It was at Cape Town, in the summer heat of November 1848, that Nathaniel James Merriman strode thankfully ashore. Behind him, at anchor in Table Bay, lay the small, 4-masted sailing ship Gwalior. Since 1600 the Merrimans of Marlborough (now a 3 month voyage away) had numbered amongst their sons doctors, teachers, bankers, priests, but when the 19th century dawned they had yet to give their name to the Missionary Bishop of an infant church, and to the Prime Minister of an infant colony."
