  • Response to Chris's Presentation About British Pirates
    Response to Chris’s presentation about British Pirates From Stephen Gill Thank you, Chris, for your interesting and informative essay on pirates. What follows is based upon two volumes in my collection of books which seemed relevant to the subject and might be of interest. Firstly, many years ago I bought second hand a book published in 1925 by CL Kingsford entitled ‘Prejudice and Promise in Fifteenth Century England’. These were expanded lectures given as the Ford Lectures at Oxford University in 1923. One essay in the book is ‘West Country Piracy: The School of English Seamen’. (As a digression, Kingsford was an interesting character – after university he worked on the Dictionary of National Biography, as an Examiner in the nascent Education department of government, as a civil servant and as a Special Constable during WW1. He never held an academic appointment but was recognised then and since as one of the major authorities on 15th century England, writing a biography of Henry V, editing many published volumes of chronicles and state records, and books on the history of London.) The essay is based upon government and court records of attempts to enforce the statutes governing the freedom of the sea which various governments passed or renewed at intervals during the century. The records suggest that the law might have prohibited piracy and privateering but its enforcement, as Chris demonstrates in his piece re e.g., John Hawley of Dartmouth, was stymied by the connivance or active participation of local worthies in the very acts of piracy that they were mean to enforce.

  • The New Zealand Company of Master Mariners
    The New Zealand Company of Master Mariners March 2015 2 1864 - vessels berthed along Gibson Quay, Hokitika Hokitika on the bar-bound mouth of the Hokitika River, sprang into life in 1864 when gold was found at her back door and despite its hazardous entrance and the snags that infested the river Hokitika was officially gazetted as a port on 8 March 1865 by the Canterbury Provincial Government who were desperate for revenue. By 1866 Gibson Quay was usually crowded with small ships. Over the years it suffered at least 43 shipwrecks, and some say, possibly more that were not recorded. Between 1865 and 1867 there were 108 strandings – 32 of which were total wrecks. The Hokitika Harbour Board came into existence in 1876 but after the gold rush trade dwindled constantly until the port was finally closed in 1954. Image: NZ Cyclopedia Hokitika, 60 years on - Gibson Quay 1924 Forlorn site of Port Foxton 2015. All that’s left is the old harbour board store that’s been re-invented as the local indoor bowls clubrooms. Port of Foxton 1923 By 1888 Foxton had become a transport centre of relative importance. A modern railway terminus served both the borough and its fast developing hinterland and the recently rebuilt and extended wharf played host to regular as well as diverse shipping services. Changes in the transport web, however, meant that by 1943, when the Whirokino Cut diverted the river flow away from the port, Foxton had ceased to function as a port. Towards the end of 1951 the old railway wharf was sold for removal and on 16 November, 1956 the Harbour Board was finally abolished.
