HMS Acheron
The survey ship HMS Acheron arrived at Stewart Island on 15 April 1850 where she spent the best part of a month at Port William, Port Pegasus, and Paterson Inlet.
On board was William Hamilton who had a penchant for exploration. Hamilton covered a lot of uncharted territory around the South Island including travelling up Jacob's River as far as Otautau stream and becoming the first European to travel overland from the site of Invercargill to Dunedin.
