Open day to mark 125 yrs 

SUMNER Lifeboat/ 

Coastguard Sumner, one of 

New Zealand’s oldest search 

and rescue institutions, is 

celebrating 125 years since its 

first dedicated lifeboat made its 

first rescue. 

The volunteer-run 

organisation, dating back to 

the 1870s, covers more than 

4500km 2 of coastal waters, 

from Port Gibson to Birdlings 

Flat, and operates three lifesaving 

vessels Hamilton Jet 

Rescue, Urquhart Trust rescue, 

and Blue Arrow Rescue. 

Said a Coastguard 

spokesperson: “On any given 

day, volunteers could respond 

to an incident on the bar, 

near the cliffs or amongst the 

heavy waves on the beach – all 

scenarios that require highly 

skilled volunteers with the best 

equipment possible.” 

She said keeping one of 

the longest-serving maritime 

rescue presence in New 

Zealand operational for 125 

years is no small feat, and 

it comes with an estimated 

annual operational cost 

of $125,000. 

“To meet this financial 

demand and continue saving 

lives at sea, Coastguard 

Sumner relies heavily on 

community support and 

fundraising efforts,” she said. 

To celebrate 125 years and to 

fundraise for the continuation 

of the life-changing work they 

do, the community is invited 

to an open day on Sunday 

November 5, from 10am-noon 

at the Scarborough Rd base. 

“Locals can see how the 

station operates through small

group tours led through the

some fascinating memorabilia 

and historical photos on 

display,” said the spokesperson. 

There will be a water rescue 

simulation at 11am, as well as 

some simulated challenges for 

kids (and kids at heart). 

“We’re extremely grateful 

to all our community funders 

and donors for their generous 

support and allowing our 

volunteers to do what they do 

best,” she said. 

Cruise ship 

passengers 

to get city 

shuttle 

INCOMING cruise ship 

passengers will be bussed 

straight from Lyttelton’s port 

to Christchurch, following 

locals’ complaints about tourists 

overwhelming public transport. 

The season runs from 

November 7 until April 8, with 

77 ships expected to arrive in 

Lyttelton and 12 scheduled for 

Akaroa. 

Lyttelton residents have 

complained when the ships are 

in port and bus services have 

struggled to keep up with the 

added demand from tourists. 

Economic development agency 

ChristchurchNZ said this season 

would trial cruise passengers 

catching a free shuttle from the 

Lyttelton cruise berth directly 

into the central city. 

Destination and attraction 

general manager Loren Aberhart 

said this would aim to reduce 

the number of passengers who 

entered the port town, and 

eliminate the strain on the public 

bus system. 

“A huge volume of cruise ship 

passengers really does overload 

the town,” she said.

Hope inquest will help with healing 

• By Tim Brown 

MUSLIM COMMUNITY leaders 

hope a long-awaited coronial inquest 

into the Christchurch terror attack 

will put unanswered questions to rest 

and help people heal from the trauma 

of the massacre that left 51 people 

dead. 

This week Coroner Brigitte 

Windley begins six weeks of public 

hearings into the murder of worshippers 

on March 15, 2019, at Al Noor 

Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre. 

The first phase inquest will focus 

on 10 key issues, including the 

initial emergency response, whether 

anyone could have been saved with 

faster medical treatment, whether the 

terrorist had direct assistance from 

anyone else on March 15 and whether 

the emergency exit door in Al Noor 

Mosque’s main prayer room “failed to 

function” during the mass shooting. 

Islamic Women’s Council national 

co-ordinator Aliya Danzeisen said 

the coronial process was important 

for people seeking the truth about 

what happened. 

“It is challenging to have walked

the last four-and-a-half years, but it 

is important to know the truth – to 

know what can be done in the future 

to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” 

she said. 

Danzeisen said she hoped people 

affected by the massacre could find 

some closure. 

“Research shows knowing the full 

truth is helpful in healing, because 

not knowing always raises questions, 

so it puts those questions to rest. So 

our hope is it will be that for our 

families, our community and the 

nation.”

Poor safety culture at ports – report

ACTION: Lyttelton Port had taken steps to improve safety 

of its port operations before the death of stevedore Don 

Grant, TAIC said. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

AN INVESTIGATION into 

the deaths of two port workers 

within six days of each other 

last year has found a haphazard 

approach to safety, with poor 

regulatory oversight and a lack of 

industry-wide standards. 

Stevedore Don Grant was 

killed during a loading operation 

at Lyttelton Port on April 25, 

2022 when he was buried under 

a load of coal on the deck of the 

ETG Aquarius, a bulk carrier. 

Less than a week earlier, on 

April 19, Ōtara man Atiroa 

Tuaiti died while working on a 

docked Singaporean container 

ship at the Port of Auckland, after 

he moved under a suspended 

40-foot container and suffered 

crush injuries. 

At the time, the Maritime 

Union, Rail and Maritime 

Transport Union, Council of 

Trade Unions and the Merchant 

Service Guild collectively asked 

for an inquiry into the industry. 

The Government directed the 

Transport Accident Investigation 

Commission to investigate the 

deaths on April 27, 2022. In its 

report, released late last week, 

TAIC highlighted several major 

safety problems for port workers 

requiring urgent attention. 

The commission said both 

accidents revealed organisational 

weaknesses in risk identification 

and mitigation strategies, 

communication and supervisory 

oversight. 

Lyttelton Port had taken steps 

to improve safety of its port 

operations before the accident 

occurred, the commission said. 

However, it had not yet identified 

all the critical risks of the coal 

signalman’s role. 

Wallace Investments, which 

employed the Auckland stevedore, 

had recognised suspended 

loads as a hazard and provided 

training procedures, which included 

regularly reminding them 

not to position themselves under 

a suspended load. 

HIKING BOOTS 

& SHOES 

The commission said the 

presence of at-risk behaviour 

indicated “a desensitisation” to 

workplace hazards and a lack of 

effective supervisory oversight. 

TAIC accidents chief investigator 

Naveen Kozhuppakalam said 

the report identified safety issues 

for the whole stevedoring sector 

in three areas – regulatory activity, 

cohesion in the stevedoring 

sector, and individual employers’ 

management of safety. 

“The commission wants 

regulators Maritime NZ and 

WorkSafe to do more to promote 

future safety across the sector. 

They need to take a ‘just culture’ 

For men, women 

and children 

From

to $250 

approach, provide insight, promote 

information sharing and 

maturity in risk management, 

and encourage continuous learning,” 

Kozhuppakalam 

said. 

Among other recommendations, 

the commission 

said Maritime 

NZ should work with the 

stevedoring industry on 

training standards and 

sharing of information 

safety. 

“We need to move on 

from stevedoring organisations 

deciding for themselves how they 

will meet safety requirements . . . 

“If proper codes aren’t implemented, 

accidents will happen.” 

Kozhuppakalam said the stevedoring 

industry had minimal 

proactive gathering and sharing 

of safety information and too few 

stevedoring companies appreciated 

the benefit of a good safety 

culture. 

The commission wants regulators 

Maritime NZ and WorkSafe 

to do more to promote future 

safety across the sector.

taken a number of safety actions, 

which was very heartening,

Meares said.

Graeme 

Sumner 

Investments about what safety 

actions it has taken since the 

accident happened. 

Lyttelton Port Company chief 

executive Graeme Sumner 

said the port agreed with 

all the recommendations 

in the report and was committed 

to implementing 

them. 

They had also already 

taken steps following the 

death of Grant, Sumner 

said. 

“We also welcome the 

recommendation relating to 

greater regulatory oversight 

of the port industry and look forward 

to working with Maritime 

New Zealand in this regard. 

“Our thoughts are with the 

family of Don Grant and with 

his friends and fellow team 

members. This report is a 

reminder of the very significant 

loss of a much-loved family man, 

work colleague and friend.” 

Sumner said it was not appropriate 

to say more at this stage 

while there was a case before the 

courts. 

In a statement, Maritime 

NZ said health and safety 

were priorities for the national 

maritime regulator.

Companies fined after skipper killed 

• By Sam Sherwood 

TWO Christchurch companies 

have been fined $270,000 and 

ordered to pay $130,000 in 

reparation after a trailer came 

off a work van and smashed 

into another vehicle, killing an 

Akaroa boat captain. 

Julian Bruins Yates, 52, a 

skipper for Black Cat Cruises, 

died on October 23, 2020 in a 

three-vehicle crash on Weka Pass 

Rd in Hurunui. 

On Tuesday last week, Ultimate 

Design and Renovation 

Ltd, which owned the A-frame 

trailer and tow vehicle, and its 

operational arm ABC Aluminium 

Ltd were sentenced in the 

district court. Both businesses 

were charged under the Health 

and Safety at Work Act for health 

and safety failures. 

A WorkSafe investigation 

found the locking handle on 

the trailer was not engaged, and 

the trailer’s safety chain was not 

connected to the vehicle. 

“These are routine checks that 

must be done when towing a 

trailer. If not, the consequences 

can be catastrophic,” said Work- 

Safe’s head of specialist interventions, 

Dr Catherine Gardner. 

Both companies did not 

have systems to ensure vehicles 

were in good working order, or 

systems to ensure drivers visually

checked their vehicles before use. 

WorkSafe also found staff had 

inadequate information, training, 

instruction, supervision, 

and experience to safely use the 

company vehicles and trailers. 

“It’s not enough to just have 

your workers sign a vehicle 

policy. Businesses need to ensure 

drivers are competent to safely 

use a vehicle, especially one that 

is being towed,” said Gardner. 

“Julian Bruins Yates was a 

father of two who lost his life 

through no fault of his own. Any 

business with a vehicle 

fleet should heed the lessons 

of this tragedy because it was 

entirely preventable.” 

Black Cat Cruises chief executive 

Paul Milligan told the NZ 

Herald after the tragedy his staff 

had been left devastated. 

“Julian was a colourful 

character, he had been a part of 

the Black Cat team for 10 years.” 

Yates had been the “face and 

voice” of the company’s Akaroa 

Harbour cruise since 2011. Being 

out on the water in nature was 

“his happy place”, said Milligan. 

He estimated about 100,000 

guests over the past decade had 

been on a cruise with Yates. 

“He was definitely a big personality 

and someone who will 

be dearly missed,” said Milligan. 

“Akaroa is a small town and 

Julian had involvement with 

a lot of things and the whole 

community is feeling it.”

solution 

• From page 1 

“By creating a traffic 

management plan which 

ensures cruise ship passengers 

can access Christchurch 

directly rather than via 

Lyttelton, a small township 

which is not set up for large 

numbers of visitors, we know 

that both visitors and residents 

will have a more positive 

experience in our destination,” 

Aberhart said. 

She said the proposal would 

have some cost implications for 

cruise lines. 

“We think that there will 

be some incremental cost 

increases to transfer passengers 

from Lyttelton to Christchurch. 

We’re really eager to work 

through supporting the cruise 

lines and making sure their 

logistical planning doesn’t cost 

them too much.” 

Aberhart said tourism 

operators were looking forward 

to welcoming passengers to the 

city. 

ChristchurchNZ said 79 

cruise ships with a total of 

144,000 passengers arrived in 

Lyttelton during the October- 

March 2022/23 season.

Musical heater 

goes to auction 

RECENT INDUCTEE to 

NZ Music Hall of Fame Don 

McGlashan has donated his 

portable heater to the Peninsula 

Art Auction. 

This one-of-a-kind creation, 

brought to life by Delaney 

Davidson, was originally given 

to McGlashan by sound engineer 

Arran Eley while touring in 

Lyttelton. This chance encounter 

sparked a heart-warming 

journey that has become a 

symbol of camaraderie and 

creativity. 

As Don and his trusty heater 

embarked on the Take It To 

The Bridge tour of handpicked 

venues across the country, the 

unassuming appliance became 

more than just a source of 

warmth. It transformed into a 

cherished mascot, accompanying 

Don to Karamea, Barrytown, 

Golden Bay, Dunedin, and 

Glenorchy. 

He even documented the 

heater’s adventures, sharing 

photos with Eley and Davidson 

back in Lyttelton. The little heater 

had taken on a life of its own, 

becoming a beloved member of 

the tour. 

Having completed its musical 

odyssey, Davidson, in a gesture of 

artistic generosity, hand-painted 

the heater, transforming it into a 

unique piece of art. 

It will take centre stage at the 

Peninsula Art Auction’s Gala 

Evening event in Lyttelton on 

Sunday. 

HOOTER: Don 

McGlashan’s 

redecorated heater 

will be up for 

auction on Sunday. 

Bill Hammond 

donated to art 

IF YOU’D like a Bill Hammond 

in your art collection and don’t 

have a spare $1.75m, you’ll want 

to be at the biennial Peninsula 

Art Auction this weekend in 

Lyttelton. 

The auction, of which Hammond 

was a long-time benefactor, 

was first held in 2005 in the 

late artist’s hometown and is 

organised by the Lyttelton Education 

Charitable Trust. 

In 2019 and 2017, original Bill 

Hammond works went under the 

hammer for under $10,000. 

This year, Bill Hammond’s 

widow Jane has generously donated 

a 2007 etching Bone Eagle 

C, with price expectations of 

anywhere from $4000. 

The Peninsula Art Auction is 

a collaboration of local artists, 

Lyttelton Primary School and 

local businesses, making this 

year’s auction a community 

effort. 

The most recent auction in 

2019 raised over $40,000 for the 

primary school and the team are 

looking forward to bringing the 

auction back after its hiatus 

GENEROUS: Hammond’s Bone Eagle C is expected to 

fetch upwards of $4000. 

due to Covid. 

Said Lyttelton Primary 

principal Jenny Felton: “The 

Peninsula Art Auction is a major 

fundraiser for us and is well 

supported by our creative and 

talented community. We are 

privileged to be part of such an 

enduring and successful event.” 

More than 100 artists in 

this year’s auction have links 

to the port town and wider 

Banks Peninsula, and it is an 

opportunity for up-and-coming 

artists to exhibit right next to the 

famous. 

Highlights this year also 

include works from, Jason Greig,

Paws & Peace - Fear Free Veterinary Care at Kōwhai Vet 

When it comes to the well-being of our 

cherished furry friends, we often focus 

on their physical health, ensuring they receive 

the best preventative healthcare, vaccinations, 

or treatment when they are sick or injured. 

But how often do we consider the emotional 

wellbeing of our pets during those veterinary 

visits? 

At Kōwhai Vet, we understand the emotional 

impact of a visit to the vet and have made it 

our mission to provide fear-free patient care, 

ensuring the utmost comfort and relaxation for 

both pets and their owners. 

Understanding FAS: Fear, Anxiety 

and Stress 

A trip to the vet can be a daunting experience 

for animals and their owners alike, often 

leading to high levels of fear, anxiety, and

stress, collectively referred to as ‘FAS.’ 

When animals are fearful, they face limited 

responses to a scary situation – fight, flight, 

freeze, or fidget. Recognising and addressing 

these emotional responses is at the core of our 

approach to care. 

Creating a Stress-Free Environment 

At Kōwhai Vet, our primary goal is to keep FAS 

levels as low as possible during every visit 

to our clinic, ensuring a calm and soothing 

atmosphere for both pets and owners. 

Here are some of the ways we try to 

achieve this: 

Education: We provide pet owners with 

valuable guidance on preparing their pets for 

a trip to the vet, helping to kickstart the visit 

on a positive note.

Calming Scents and Pet Pheromones: 

Our clinic is infused with calming scents 

and pet pheromones, creating a serene 

atmosphere to ease pets’ anxiety upon arrival. 

Long Appointments: We allocate ample 

time for appointments, giving your pet the 

opportunity to adjust to the new environment 

gradually. Throughout the visit, we closely 

monitor signs of FAS and take measures to 

reduce stress whenever possible. 

Pre-Visit Calming Medications: For highly 

anxious pets, we offer pre-visit calming 

medications to reduce anxiety levels and 

ensure a more comfortable visit. 

Positive Reinforcement: We offer a variety of 

treat options to create a positive experience 

during the visit, helping to alleviate your pet’s 

anxiety and build trust. 

Gentle Handling: Our clinic employs minimal 

restraint techniques to handle pets during 

procedures, ensuring their comfort and 

security throughout.

Tjalling de Vries to hold 

Take Root exhibition 

IN TAKE Root, Tjalling de 

Vries connects with the Banks 

Peninsula environment in which 

he was raised, from his current 

home of Lyttelton. 

Born in the Netherlands, 

de Vries grew up on Banks 

Peninsula and attended 

Canterbury University’s Ilam 

School of Fine Arts. 

For this solo exhibition, which 

runs from November 3-26 at 

Stoddart Cottage, de Vries has 

expanded his creative practice 

to produce a series of woodblock 

prints of trees that are native to 

Banks Peninsula. 

The exhibition also includes 

a hand-printed book made in 

collaboration with the poet and 

playwright Pohlen Newbery, 

and printer and curator Peter 

Vangioni. Newbery wrote 

the text in te reo Māori, and 

Vangioni printed the words 

on his letterpress with two of 

de Vries’ woodblock prints 

alongside. 

Said de Vries: “I feel it is 

pleasantly fitting to exhibit 

these works at Stoddart Cottage 

considering the legacy of 

Margaret Stoddart’s botanical

Tjalling’s practice traverses 

a range of media and thematic 

concerns, often with a 

particular interest in spacial and 

multisensory experiences, as 

well as the simple art of picture 

making. Tjalling is represented 

by Jonathan Smart Gallery.

Fire brigade 150th weekend gets 10/10 

REMINISCE: Heath 

Carswell, Caleb Pool 

and Connor Buckley 

modelling old 

uniforms in front of 

two appliances from 

Ferrymead’s Hall of 

Flame. Inset – the 

Rosenbauer Panther. 

WITH LESS than an hour 

to go before the Lyttelton 

Volunteer Fire Brigade 150th 

anniversary weekend kicked 

off, the siren sounded. 

Thankfully, it was nothing 

serious – just a reminder that 

the celebrations could get 

interrupted at any time. 

Thankfully again, that 

didn’t happen and the 

weekend was a wonderful 

gathering of old friends, 

with lots of laughter, 

emotion and some seriously 

impressive firefighting 

firepower on display. 

First through the tunnel 

was the monster Rosenbauer 

Panther, a long way from 

home at Christchurch 

International Airport. It 

joined five fire appliances 

from Christchurch and 

Lyttelton, along with two 

old timers from Ferrymead’s 

Hall of Flame Museum – the 

1938 Dennis Light Six and 

1946 Ford V8, both of which 

saw action at the Ballantynes 

fire in 1947. 

Lyttelton’s youngest 

brigade members Heath 

Carswell, Caleb Pool and 

Connor Buckley modelled 

old fire brigade uniforms that 

were obsolete before they 

were even born. 

On Saturday, more than 

170 packed the marquee on 

the station forecourt for the 

grand celebration dinner and 

awards evening. 

Sunday morning was 

a much quieter and very 

moving period for reflection 

and remembrance, with 

thanks to Neil Struthers and 

bagpiper Craig Gibson. 

By the time the farewell 

barbecue ended on Sunday 

afternoon the general 

consensus was a score of 

10 out of 10 for the whole 

weekend. 

Then, wouldn’t you know 

it, with impeccable timing, 

at 7.20am Monday morning, 

the siren sounded again. As 

the fire truck headed out the 

door the rest of the Lyttelton 

Volunteer Fire Brigade crew 

got stuck into the station 

clean up.

years.

Electric 

bus fleet 

to grow 

MORE THAN a quarter 

of Kinetic’s Go Bus fleet in 

Christchurch will soon be 

electric, with confirmation 10 

more zero-emission buses are 

bound for the city next year. 

The company will introduce 

the 10 electric buses across 

a number of local routes, to 

replace older diesel buses and 

further reduce the emissions 

from its Christchurch bus 

services. 

The introduction of these new 

electric buses is made possible by 

Environment Canterbury being 

awarded additional funding from 

Waka Kotahi to help decarbonise 

the urban Metro fleet. 

The additional 10 electric 

buses will see Kinetic grow its 

city fleet to 51 battery electric 

vehicles, which represents more 

than 25 per cent of its local fleet. 

“It’s a great step towards 

achieving our goal of having 

a 100 per cent zero emission 

fleet across New Zealand and 

Australia by 2035,” said Kinetic 

NZ managing director Calum 

Haslop. 

The new buses can be expected 

on Canterbury roads in 2024. 


Guiding the way for young girls 

• By Sasha Watson 

CIARA GIBSON has just 

returned from representing New 

Zealand at an international Girl 

Guiding governance forum. 

Now, the 20-year-old Canterbury 

University student wants to 

see more girls step up to leadership 

positions. 

Gibson, who lives in Ilam, 

was selected as one of two New 

Zealand representatives at the 

38th World Association of Girl 

Guiding and Girl Scouting world 

conference in Cyprus. 

About 400 delegates from 106 

countries attended the event to 

discuss strategy, policy and leadership 

at a global level, elect new 

world board members and participate 

in a range of workshops. 

Gibson said the conference 

connected her with other people 

around the world who are passionate 

about empowering young 

women. 

“But I also learned young 

women can have much more 

of a voice on numerous issues 

and take advantage of a whole 

range of different opportunities 

compared to our peers in some 

other countries,” she said. 

“Guides has inspired me over 

the years and has offered me 

a wonderful chance to really 

challenge myself and to learn 

and grow. 

“I want to offer the same 

support and mentoring to other 

GOING GLOBAL: Ciara Gibson was one of two New Zealand 

Girl Guide representatives at the world conference. 

girls and young women who 

may want to become the leaders 

of tomorrow, or who may just 

want to have fun and enjoy new 

challenges with a great group of 

other girls in a safe space.” 

Gibson sits on the 

GirlGuiding NZ national 

board, as the young leader representative, 

and was a member of 

the national girl advisory group, 

which focuses on giving young 

women a voice within the organisation. 

She has also attained the 

Queen’s Guide award (the 

highest achievement in guiding) 

and has served as both a leader 

and co-ordinator for the central 

South Island region. 

“It sometimes takes guts 

to put your hand up and step 

out of your comfort zone, and 

that’s where I’ve been lucky as a 

Girl Guide,” she said. 

“It’s important for girls to see 

other girls in leadership positions 

and Guiding has been invaluable 

in that respect. The organisation 

has done so much to help me 

overcome those barriers and help 

me become a leader.” 

Gibson didn’t have to look far 

for inspiration to become a Girl 

Guide. Her mother and both of 

her grandmothers were Guides, 

and her father and both her 

grandfathers were involved in 

Scouting. She joined the organisation 

aged 7 as a Brownie. 

Her mum, Sharon, is still a 

Guide leader and her younger 

sister, Brianna, is also a leader. 

Established in 1908, 

GirlGuiding NZ offers a 

non-competitive learning environment 

which is open-minded 

and values-based. 

“It’s a supportive place to grow 

confident, adventurous girls 

who are ready to be tomorrow’s 

leaders,” said Gibson. 

“Given its strong focus on 

inclusivity, and given the 

challenges girls and young 

women face in today’s society, 

it’s a special place where girls 

and young women can learn 

new skills, create lifelong 

connections, and nurture 

personal growth and confidence. 

“There’s still much more we 

need to do at home to encourage 

young Kiwi women to step 

up. Our ‘tall poppy’ syndrome 

means we often still hold 

ourselves back.” 

GirlGuiding NZ has 

partnered with Griffin’s 

again to bring the 

kiwi favourite choc 

guide biscuits back to 

supermarket shelves. 

While not being sold by 

Girl Guides, the biscuits will 

be available at Countdown, 

SuperValue and 

FreshChoice supermarkets 

for a limited time to raise 

funds for the organisation.

Gangster’s Paradise 

by Jared Savage 

The much anticipated follow-up to the bestseller that exposed the escalation of 

organised crime in New Zealand. 

Gangster’s Paradise is about drugs, guns, gangs and money. Lots of money. 

A gang which took over a small rural town. A police officer shot and killed 

in a routine traffic stop. A port-worker who helped a gang whisk a shipping 

container off a wharf in the middle of the night. A crew of corrupt baggage 

handlers smuggling meth into the country during Covid lockdowns. A shooting 

inside a 5-star hotel in broad daylight. Turf wars, retaliation, and retribution: 

new gangs like the Mongols and Comancheros have brought with them better 

connections with international syndicates, challenging the established gangs 

like the Head Hunters - so dominant for many years - who have had to up their 

game in response. 

Jared Savage’s bestselling book Gangland was about the evolution of gangs in 

New Zealand. Gangster’s Paradise is about the deadly escalation.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

Arduous journeys, uncertain futures 

THROUGHOUT the 19th 

century, many courageous 

individuals heeded the call 

to leave Great Britain to sail 

approximately 12,410 nautical 

miles (22,983km) to Aotearoa 

New Zealand in pursuit of a 

better life. Both the journey – 

on fast merchant sailing ships 

called ‘clippers’ – and arrival was 

fraught with challenges. 

The first wave of organised 

migration under the Canterbury 

Association’s planned Church 

of England settlement saw 28 

ships carrying 3500 people arrive 

between 1850 and 1853. With the 

demise of the Canterbury Association 

in 1855, the Provincial 

Government took over immigration 

until 1870. 

From 1870, working class 

English, Irish, Scottish and a 

few Welsh citizens were enticed 

to migrate to New Zealand by 

agents visiting rural villages, 

selling the dream of a land of 

plenty ‘down under’. 

Of extra temptation was the 

opportunity to have their passage 

paid for by the New Zealand 

Government. Treasurer Julius 

Vogel was behind a massive government 

borrowing programme 

to fund public works projects. 

This also paid for an assisted 

migration scheme to provide 

‘manpower’ to build roads, railways 

and telegraph lines. 

For a typical agricultural 

labourer in Britain at that time, 

one’s diet consisted mainly of 

bread and potatoes with a little 

cabbage or bacon fat thrown in. 

Many were illiterate and there 

was little hope of improving 

one’s lot in life, nor one’s offspring’s. 

The impacts of the industrial 

revolution had exacerbated 

poverty as traditional livelihoods 

were eroded, which meant a real 

risk of ending up in the workhouse. 

Little wonder many chose 

to take a perilous sea voyage, in 

the sure knowledge they would 

never see their birthplace again. 

More than 100,000 assisted 

migrants arrived during the 

1870s, including a record of over 

32,000 in 1874. The journey from 

Britain to New Zealand took 

about three months and individual 

experience on board was determined 

by the same social and 

economic strata that then characterised 

British society. If one 

was a privileged cabin passenger, 

there was space and opportunity 

to stroll the poop deck and take 

part in ‘entertainments’. 

However, for steerage 

passengers shipboard life was 

mainly confined to the bowels 

of the vessel. Timber bunks, 

constructed in two tiers and 

measuring about six by twothree 

feet, with a canvas curtain, 

provided one’s only privacy, rest 

area, and storage space. A long 

central table was the communal 

space for cooking, sewing or 

social activities. Washing was 

done in a bucket, toileting 

facilities were rudimentary, and 

rodents, cockroaches and lice 

abounded. Conditions were 

crowded, damp, malodorous 

and unsanitary; during storms, 

hatches were battened down, 

sometimes for many days at a 

time. 

Given these factors, and that 

health clearances in Britain prior 

to embarkation were cursory, 

resulting in some ships having 

disease on board prior to departure, 

it is no surprise there were 

deaths on many ships. When 

enteric fever (typhoid), scarlatina 

(scarlet fever), diptheria and 

smallpox ripped through a 

vessel, tolls could reach well into 

double figures, with especially 

high numbers of infants and 

children. Ship’s doctors and the 

matrons assigned to single women’s 

welfare had little capacity 

to minister to sick passengers. It 

was largely up to an individual’s 

innate resilience whether one 

survived illness. Burials at sea 

were mostly done with minimal 

ceremonies. 

Challenges were not over on 

arrival in Whakaraupō Lyttelton 

Harbour. Immigration barracks 

had been erected in 1850 for 

the arrival of the Canterbury 

Association’s “First Four Ships”; 

they provided temporary accommodation 

while colonists found 

their feet and a place for employers 

to vet prospective workers 

from steerage. Our very early 

1862-1863 photograph shows one 

of these barracks at the end of 

the Government jetty, above the 

small cottage. 

By 1863, concerns about 

infection spreading to the local

population were behind the Government’s 

decision to establish a 

human quarantine station at Te 

Pohue Camp Bay, on a 50-acre 

block originally set aside for 

stock quarantine. It had a safe 

anchorage from which to ferry 

migrants ashore, but for the first 

to be quarantined there off the 

Captain Cook, it was just a wet 

and miserable ‘tent city’. Seventeen 

had died during that ship’s 

voyage and another five deaths 

followed in the bay. 

Lobbying by passengers and 

concerned citizens resulted in 

the erection of timber barracks 

in 1864. These structures were 

levelled in a storm less than 

a year later, testifying to the 

exposed nature of the site. A 

small cemetery on the headland 

was the final resting place of a 

probable total of 74 individuals 

– burials took place from 1863- 

1880, long after the bay stopped 

being used for quarantine. 

Fear of the spread of disease 

continued to be voiced in the 

Lyttelton Times and other 

regional papers; in 1873, a third 

government quarantine solution 

was proposed on Ripapa Island. 

A hospital and five large barracks 

capable of accommodating 300 

people were constructed. 

Passengers from the 1873 

typhus ridden Punjaubwere were 

held there; 27 had died at sea 

and a further 11 succumbed in 

quarantine (they were buried at 

Camp Bay). The site was taken 

over for use by the Government’s 

penal authority in 1876. 

A fourth and final quarantine 

complex was built on Ōtamahua 

Quail Island in 1876. Evidently 

it was little used for its intended 

purpose. Many ships were 

not required to quarantine; 

that difficult decision was the 

responsibility of Dr Donald, 

then Lyttelton’s Medical Officer. 

He must have felt immense 

pressure from multiple quarters 

– shipping interests, migrants 

eager to start their new lives, 

and a local populace wary of 

infection. However, the facilities 

were used until 1931, including 

during the post WW1 influenza 

epidemic and for a leprosy 

colony.
