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.
