12 Okt 1918 Jahr - Royal Mail Liner (Niagara) - believed arrival

Beschreibung:

The belived arrival of influenza was at this date from the Royal Mail liner Niagara. When the pandemic arose, it then eased but at too late of a date, at 9000 deaths; Maori was most at risk with around 2500 of the deaths. But death did not occur evenly among either Māori or Pākehā. Some communities were decimated, while others escaped largely unscathed. The only places struck with uniform severity were military camps.
