Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book is a history of the British Enderby settlement on the
Auckland Islands 1849–52 and its associated whaling venture.
Isolation, a stormswept climate, unproductive soil, inexperienced
crews, drunkenness and above all an unexpected shortage of whales
meant the raw colony ran into trouble and the parent company found
itself facing disaster. Two special commissioners were sent to
either close the venture down or move it elsewhere, and a bitter
struggle developed, with Charles Enderby refusing to admit defeat
and Governor Sir George Grey reluctantly becoming involved.
Nevertheless the settlement collapsed, and the few Maori settlers
on the islands, who had preceded and benefited from the
colonists’ presence, left soon after. Little trace of the colony
remains, and the Auckland Islands are much as they were before
Charles Enderby attempted to realise his dream: uninhabited,
isolated, wild and beautiful, and now of World Heritage status.
