Description
For a few short years in the 1840s, the brigantine ‘Terror of Auckland’, but more commonly referred to as just the ‘Terror’, was a familiar sight calling variously at Great Barrier Island, Coromandel, Waiheke Island, Auckland, Kawau Island, the Bay of Islands and trading to Sydney in New South Wales. It later occasionally made other voyages to Java, China and other island in the Pacific. For almost seven years from August 1844 until February, 1851, her master was Captain William Lancaster Dunning, who was an Englishman born in Stepney, London on 24th December, 1808. Nothing more is known about her after 1857 when she was caught in a hurricane in the Indian Ocean.
This book is a compilation of journal entries that document her many voyages around the Auckland region and beyond. Included also are fascinating black & white photographs and illustrations that encapsulate the sublimity of her design.
