Mr. Andrew McIntyre

Mr. Andrew McIntyre, Chief Engineer of the s.s. “Matatua,” was born at Glasgow in 1851. Educated partly in that city and partly in London, he was apprenticed to the engineering trade with Messrs. Barkley, Kerr and Co., of Stobcross. On completion of his indentures he went to sea and in 1885 joined the present company's service, working on shore for the first two years. Mr. McIntyre came to New Zealand on board the “Lyttelton,” which was wrecked at Timaru. When the “Matatua” was being built, he was sent to take charge of the refrigerating machinery, and has had the position of chief engineer to the present time. Mr. McIntyre is attached to the Perseverance Lodge of Freemasons, and is a member of the Association of Marine Engineers. He is married and has a family of six children.
