Cashmere Wanderers
Cashmere Wanderers is a New Zealand association football club based in Christchurch. The club was formed in 1951 as Atlantis AFC, named for its origins among emigrants to New Zealand aboard the Shaw Savill Line ship Atlantis, which arrived in Lyttelton in 1950. The club's initial colours of gold with black trim were chosen to match the colours of Shaw Savill, and the club gained the nickname of "Wanderers" due to the similarity of these colours to the English team Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.. In 1961, the club changed its name to Christchurch Wanderers to reflect this nickname, and also to reflect the fact that the remaining links with the Atlantis and with Shaw Savill were by now tenuous.
