Currently there is world-wide interest in the song \u201cSoon May The Wellerman Come\u201d. Social media is simply heaving with shanty mania. There is of course a Dunedin connection and a recent article in the Otago Daily Times explains the history of the Weller Brothers shore whaling station at \u014ct\u0101kou and a little bit of background on the origin of the song. https:\/\/www.odt.co.nz\/news\/dunedin\/wellerman-sea-shanty-global-hit<\/a><\/p>\n

The song includes the line “And bring us sugar and tea and rum,” referring to essential treats distributed regularly to the whaling gangs employed by the Weller Brothers. This reminded me I had seen many references to sugar, tea and rum in of one of our most significant archival collections \u2013 the Octavius Harwood papers.<\/p>\n

The Harwood papers are probably the best collection of archives still extant from a shore whaling station in New Zealand. Octavius Harwood was employed late in 1837 to run the store and oversee some of the station\u2019s activities and he kept extensive records that were preserved by later generations of his family and eventually came to the Hocken in the 1930s with the papers of George Craig Thomson.<\/p>\n

Octavius Harwood\u2019s journals describe what life was like for those working in the 1830s whaling industry around \u014ct\u0101kou and the Otago coastline. With our help from current HUMS 201 intern, Caitlyn Duff, I have transcribed and edited an extract from the start of Harwood\u2019s 1838 journal.<\/p>\n

To make the extract more readable I expanded abbreviations and corrected spelling to modern spelling and removed some capitals. I also used square brackets to annotate some terms and names in the text.<\/p>\n

The close relationship of M\u0101ori and European working together in the settlement of \u014ct\u0101kou is clear in the journal with regular reference to the work M\u0101ori did at the station and in the whale fisheries. Many whalers, including Harwood and his employer Edward Weller married local women and an extensive network of wh\u0101nau was created along the Otago coast.<\/p>\n

Harwood’s original journal commencing in 1838, MS-0438\/001 Hocken Collections Uare Taoka o H\u0101kena<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The original journal is hand sewn, probably by Harwood himself and bears the stains and scuffs of a hard life at the store. It is made of Downton Mill paper water marked 1834.<\/p>\n

Harwood supplied provisions to the whaling gangs, who visited \u014ct\u0101kou to pick up their supplies. The gangs picked up two or so weeks\u2019 worth of supplies and dropped off the prepared oil and bone. On one occasion in this extract Taiaroa and Karetai delivered some supplies from Harwood\u2019s store to the nearby P\u016br\u0101kaunui whaling station.<\/p>\n

The supplies almost always consisted of sugar, tea, grog (a rum and water mix), tobacco, flour and sometimes casks of salted beef or pork. \u00a0Whaling gear – rope, tools, casks or shooks (supplies for barrel making) and slops (cheap cotton canvas clothing) were also often supplied. Occasionally spirits were supplied to the whaling gang leaders. There seemed to be little fresh food distributed, perhaps the gangs supplemented their diet by trading locally, fishing, hunting and gathering.<\/p>\n

The ship Dublin Packet was at \u014ct\u0101kou at the time and Harwood spent much time unloading supplies and loading oil and bone on the ship. He also supplied a visiting French whaling ship.<\/p>\n

Harwood supervised the cooper (barrel maker) at \u014ct\u0101kou, and a team of usually six M\u0101ori who cleaned whalebone, and did other work such as building repairs, road repairs and fencing. He sometimes pickled pork in barrels and purchased potatoes from M\u0101ori.<\/p>\n

He also issued provisions for \u201cthe House\u201d \u2013 presumably the house where Edward Weller lived. Weller\u2019s activities are mentioned occasionally. Edward eventually returned to live in Sydney when the business failed and further archival records of the Weller Brothers business are held at the State Library of New South Wales in Sydney, where they have been digitised and are available online. http:\/\/archival.sl.nsw.gov.au\/Details\/archive\/110364025?_ga=2.66028653.2102099567.1611630649-263552842.1611630649<\/a><\/p>\n
