There are still far fewer ships visiting New Zealand than before 1810. This is due to the economic depression which started in New South Wales in 1810 and continues until 1815.[1] The concern that the Boyd massacre might be repeated abates somewhat as a number of reports that it was provoked reach Port Jackson.[2] As more ships resume visits to the Bay of Islands they consistently report that they are well treated.[1]

The sealing rush to Macquarie Island continues, and Campbell Island is also occasionally visited. Most travel via Foveaux Strait. More whalers operate off the north and east coasts of New Zealand than the previous year. A few Māori are crewing on ships and one or two visit Marsden at Parramatta.[1]
