1802 in New Zealand

1802 in New Zealand

There are no known visits by sealers this year as they concentrate on Bass Strait. However Charles Bishop and George Bass call at Dusky Sound in the Venus where they spend fourteen days stripping iron from the hulk of Captain Brampton's old ship the Endeavour, to barter in Tahiti for pork before returning to Sydney in November. [Rowley Taylor, "Straight Through From London, the Antipodes and Bounty Islands, New Zealand",Heritage Expeditions New Zealand Ltd, Christchurch, 2006, ISBN 0-473-10650-7, pp. 37,38&40.] There are several British whalers operating off the north-east coast, only one of which is certainly known to have landed (at the Bay of Islands). There are an unknown number of American whalers also in the area but as they do not usually call at Port Jackson their activities, including where, if at all, they land, are largely unknown.Salmond, Anne. Between Worlds. 1997. Penguin Books (NZ) Ltd. ISBN 0 670 87787 5.]
