Amity
Amity was a whaler that worked off the coast of the South Island in the early 1830's. In the winter of 1832, she sailed from Otago to Cloudy Bay and by 03 August, her crew had taken five whales.
After the whaling season she returned to Australia and when she left Hobart the following winter bound for another whaling voyage to New Zealand, her captain was W Lovett. Following the same path as the year before, Amity first called at Otago where much to her captain's dismay she lost some of her men.
Amity's next stop was Cloudy Bay and at the end of the whaling season Captain Lovett sailed her back to Hobart Town where she arrived on 06 September with fifty tuns of sperm oil, eleven tuns of black oil, and eleven of whalebone.
On August 15 1834, Amity under Captain white, sailed for New Zealand with passengers John Campbell, Mrs White, and Mrs Lambe.
