Immigration: 5 NOV 1841. Nelson, New Zealand. Note: He emigrated on the Whitby in 1841 to Nelson, New Zealand Captain Wm. Lacey via Wellington; Surgeon Superintendent: Alexander McShane. Sailed London 27th April 1841 - arrived Wellington 8th September 1841, Nelson 5th November 1841. The 347 ton Whitby was one of three vessels fitted out to carry out a survey for the new settlement at Nelson. Whitby and Will Watch departed London on Sunday afternoon, May 2nd 1841. A service had been held on board Will Watch and their passage down the Thames was marked by a 21 gun salute. Arrow did not depart until May 21st but beat the other two ships to Port Nicholson. All three ships first arrived at Port Nicholson until the question of the site of Nelson had been resolved. Whitby brought to New Zealand, Captain Arthur Wakefield R N (brother to Edward Gibbon Wakefield) along with 59 officials and labourers. Taylor William 32 Miner. Taken from the NZ Company Ledger of the officers and men of the expedition who embarked by the 'Whitby' and 'Will Watch'. The expedition was sent by the NZ Company, their mission was to survey and choose a settlement site for later emigrants from England. Governor Hobson wanted the ships to go to Auckland where lands adapted to their needs could be easily obtained. Arthur Wakefield held out for the fertile lands of Banks Peninsula or Port Cooper. The NZ Company had told its prospective customers that they had purchased land in central NZ so couldn't settle for Auckland. Governor Hobson was determined to compel all migration to the 'seat of government' in Auckland. Col Wakefield, already in Wellington, told his brother, Arthur, to take a pilot (Mr FG Moore) to the western shores of Blind Bay with an interpreter (John Brooks) who had established a friendship with the Motueka maori. Where a survey was eventually made around 5 Nov 1841. Neither could accept the others proposal, so a third site was chosen near to Wellington, Nelson was Hobson's choice.^[4]
