Denmark Hill
Denmark Hill worked in New Zealand waters in the 1830’s. At the beginning of 1831, the Sydney Gazette reported her as being in the harbour with several other bay whaling ships that were regular visitors to the Cook Strait whaling fisheries.
In March 1833, Denmark Hill was back in Sydney with a cargo of 190 tons of sperm whale oil procured in the South Seas. Three years later Denmark Hill was at Bluff in Foveaux Strait with Captain Findley as her master. She had been out from Sidney since December 1835 and on 13 March 1836 was on her way back to Sydney to deliver her cargo of oil.
After one month in port Denmark Hill returned to New Zealand and again stationed herself around the south coast instead of the crowded waters of Cook Strait’s Cloudy Bay. At the end of the 1836 whaling season, Denmark Hill returned to Sydney with 160 tons of whale oil.
