1812 in New Zealand

1812 in New Zealand

With the outbreak of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain American whalers are forced to avoid Port Jackson. However they still operate at various points around New Zealand including the Kermadec Islands as do the colonial vessels. Sealers are still operating mainly at Macquarie and Campbell Islands. Occasionally there are Māori in the crew. Timber ships are also visiting New Zealand.Salmond, Anne. Between Worlds. 1997. Penguin Books (NZ) Ltd. ISBN 0 670 87787 5.]

Events

*March - The whaling ship "King George", Captain Lasco Jones, calls at the Bay of Islands. John Besent, an American in the crew, deserts the ship worried that locals will hear about ill-treatment of a Māori crew member by the Captain and massacre the crew as happened with the "Boyd". He stays with the Ngā Puhi for 12 months and during that time hears a detailed account of what happened with the "Boyd" from chief Te Aara (who speaks fluent English). He later reports the ill-treatment by Captain Lasco and relates the "Boyd" account to the authorities in Port Jackson.
*"c". April - The "Frederick" returns to New Zealand for provisions after 6 months whaling but Captain Bodie does not allow Ruatara and the other Maori to land as promised. He then proceeds to Norfolk Island promising to land the Māori in New Zealand on his way back to England but abandons them at Norfolk Island (without pay) and forcibly takes Te Pahi’s son with him.
*1 August – The "Ann" arrives at Port Jackson with Ruatara. During his subsequent stay with Reverend Marsden at Parramatta Ruatara asks that someone be sent to the Bay of Islands to teach reading and writing.
*19 September – The "Ann" leaves Port Jackson and five months later returns Ruatara home.
