Auckland - New Zealand Bound

History

Auckland had been selected as the capital of New Zealand by Captain Hobson in 1840 as he liked the isthmus.  The port is on the east coast of North Island and is situated on the sparkling waters of  Waitemata Harbour surrounded by the city.  Onehunga is situated on the west coast of the North Island and on the northeast shore of the immense Manukau Harbour, 27km from the Tasman Sea entrance. The first large party of immigrants arrived on aboard the Duchess of Argyle and the Jane Gifford on 10th Oct 1842. The wharf. The magnificent land-locked estuary, 73 square miles of water, Auckland (Waitemata) Harbour is situated at the head of the Hauraki Gulf . The inner or commercial harbour in 1927 was approached by the Rangitoto Channel, which is half to a mile wide and had a depth of 31ft 6" at low water, Spring tides (average rise and fall of tide 8ft to 12 ft.)

Fencibles

A Pensioner Fencible Soldier was a person who had served time overseas for his country - Ireland - usually in India or Malta - had got sick or hurt in one of those places - was still fit enough to be in the army but unfit for active service, they were then sent back home - Ireland. In 1847 Governor Sir George Grey requested men to defend Auckland NZ against the Maoris uprising. The requests went to England, Ireland and Scotland. The men had to be 5' 6" and over, good character, in return they would be given free passage for themselves and family, cottage and 1 acre of land on the outskirts of Auckland, for seven years service in NZ. They only had to report to parade on a Sunday to collect their pension, otherwise they were free to work for anyone or do what they liked during the week but if needed had to muster immediately to protect Auckland against the Maori. There was only ever one muster called and there was never a shot fired. There was in all ten ships that came to NZ. 'Ann', Berhampore, Berwick Castle, Clifton, Inchinnan, Minerva, Oriental Queen, Ramillies, Sir George Seymour, Sir Robert Sale, between 1847 - 1852.

The Ann left Gravesend England 5th Oct 1847 for Ireland, left there 25th Dec 1847, stopped five days in the Cape of Good Hope for repairs, arriving in Auckland 17 May 1848. There was three fires on board, they ran out of salt, three birth and twelve deaths. Captain C.S. Walker in charge. 74 pensioners, 70 women, 153 children.

All the other ships are well documented but the 'Ann' is not she just appeared and then disappeared into the mist two months later in July in ballast for Hong Kong, never to be heard of again.  She was built in Bombay in 1812 by J.J. Griffiths for the English Armada, containing gun turrets but the guns were never fitted and she was never used for the purposed she was built for. Auckland Public Library and Auckland Museum Library have information on the Fencibles.

Struck by a water spout. Narrative from Mr Heaton, an officer of Her Majesty's ship Electra, son of the Hon. Mrs Heaton, of Plas Heaton, Denbighshire, and nephew of Lord Henniker, and dated "At Sea, Nov. 22, 1855" " We left Melbourne on the 12th of last month, and with our usual fortune, encountered very heavy weather during the whole of our passage to New Zealand, the sea running very high, and washing over us continually. One day an enormous sea broke over us, and the first thing it carried away was the second gig, completely crumpling her up and smashing her all to bits. It then stove in the gunroom and the captain's skylights, and washed everything off the tables in both places, including a bookshelf and a swinging lamp. They were at breakfast in the gunroom at the time, and in a moment officers, teacups, lumps of butter, servants, and red herrings were all floundering together on the deck in three feet of water, and it was some minutes before the ship recovered herself from the shock. Eating our meals was a violent gymnastic exercise; and as to writing, it was out of the question. Ten days of this work brought up the north point of New Zealand, and it took three more to beat down the east coast to Auckland, where we arrived on the 25th ult, after the longest sea passage we have made since out first arrival from England. We remained at Auckland for 19 days. We sallied from Auckland on the 12th of the present month, and have been fighting with headwinds ever since. We have only advanced 400 miles and still 7000 miles from Sydney. The day before yesterday we encountered a most extraordinary danger - we were caught in a water spout. The day had been squally, and we had been compelled to take in sail several times, and therefore we who were below were not surprised to find the ship heel gradually over; but when she went further, and the deck came almost perpendicular, we could see that something had happened beyond the common order of squalls. I climbed over the others and reached the deck. There everything was in confusion, and the ship was lying over on her broadside, with all of one side buried in the water, ropes and sails flapping about. I began to drive the men to the ropes to haul down the after sails, and after a couple of minutes; work the ship slowly righted. It seems that a whirling mass of water had been seen near ten ship, and before anything could be done it was upon her. it was indeed a fearful moment; and nothing but God's hand could have saved us, for man was utterly powerless against manifestation of our Creator's might. As soon as I could get my my self I returned Him thanks for mercifully sparing myself and my shipmates, and saving us in our hour of peril."

"The Bombay left Gravesend at 8 o'clock on the morning of November 26th, 1864 with a total of 386 passengers.  Judging from the records, this was her slowest and most hazardous trip, taking 112 days in all, and according to Mr. George Wootten, it was only by the help of God that they ever succeeded in reaching their destination.  Several times during the voyage, they were beset by adverse winds, extremely heavy seas, and narrow escapes from certain disaster."
