Auckland has a busy harbour, handling vessels carrying Masters, crew, a stowaway or two; passengers, cabin, saloon and steerage, immigrants embarking on new lives; vessels making voyages from Australian ports, London, San Francisco, China, South Sea Islands and other lands.

These records cover a period from 1843 to 1875 for 100s of 1000s of passengers, a few crew, a few reports of voyages and wrecks. Individual vessels number in the 100s, some of which docked multiple times during the period.
In the search box below you may enter a name or part of a name — a surname or a vessel name. When you have found your person, follow the row across to the Docked number: clicking it shows everyone else on that same voyage.
