Guide
In August 1831, Captain Ashmore sailed his ship Guide from Sydney, registering his intended destination as Cook Strait. During these days ships moved freely around the coast of New Zealand and this particular voyage was an eventful journey for Guide and her crew.
On August 31, Captain Peterson of Juno murdered one of his crewmen named Johnson while at Banks Peninsula, Guide also having been there at the time. On arriving in Cook Strait, Captain Ashmore arrested Captain Peterson for murder. Two weeks later Guide was on hand to assist by providing tools for repairs when Vittoria struck rocks in Tauranga and suffered damage.
In 1833, Captain Buckle arrived in Sydney on Guide, having taken 65 tuns of sperm oil from the South Sea fisheries.
