Boston
An American whaling ship from Nantucket, Captain Joy brought Boston into the Bay for refreshing in autumn 1824.
The Bay of Islands was a welcome port for captains and crew where they could get fresh water, pork, potatoes, and timber for repairs as well as female company which was a necessary provision for a happy crew. Many captains and men had 'wives' at the Bay of Islands and once in port they would join them on board for the duration of the stay, with some accompanying their men to sea.
