While it as not the first refrigerated shipment of meat from the Southern Hemisphere, by pure hard work, determination and attention to detail, it was easily the most successful of its day and was duly recognised at the time as a truly groundbreaking event. New Zealand today is founded on the foresight and nerve of those who made it happen.
