1811 in New Zealand

1811 in New Zealand

There are still far fewer ships visiting New Zealand than before 1810. This is due to the economic depression which started in New South Wales in 1810 and continues until 1815.Salmond, Anne. Between Worlds. 1997. Penguin Books (NZ) Ltd. ISBN 0 670 87787 5.] The concern that the Boyd massacre might be repeated abates somewhat as a number of reports that it was provoked reach Port Jackson. [As late as 21 March 1811 warnings were still being issued in India to ships on their way to New Zealand. See [http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-McN01Hist-t1-b7-d150.html NZETC: Supplement to the Calcutta Gazette] ] As more ships resume visits to the Bay of Islands they consistently report that they are well treated.

The sealing rush to Macquarie Island continues, and Campbell Island is also occasionally visited. Most travel via Foveaux Strait. More whalers operate off the north and east coasts of New Zealand than the previous year. A few Māori are crewing on ships and one or two visit Marsden at Parramatta.
