Deborah bay #1 Deborah bayon the Otago Harbour just beyond Port Chalmers and Careys
Bay.
Extra Information Deborah Bay, on the north western side of Otago harbour near Port Chalmers,
Otago and immediately to the north of Careys Bay. Frederick Tuckett, the
New Zealand Company surveyor, chartered Capt. Thomas Wing's schooner,
Deborah, in 1844 and headed south to survey the Otago block. From
Waikouaiti, Tuckett set out to walk overland to Otago Harbour. The
undergrowth was very dense and the Maori guides lost heart. Tuckett stuck
grimly to the task undeterred by the remarks of the guides "Where is the
road now?" But Tuckett would not give in, and at last they arrived at the
shore of the harbour and saw the little vessel Deborah, which had taken
Tuckett from Port Cooper to Moeraki, lying at anchor in the little bay
which has ever since been known as Deborah Bay. Your Available Options |
