The search for the missing schooner "Jubilee" by the NZGS "Tutanekai"
Date: 1920
From: Duncan, June (Mrs), fl 1997 :Photographs from the estates of Joseph and Frank Duncan
By: Duncan, June, active 1997
Reference: PA1-o-827
Description: On 15 August 1920 the auxiliary (with an engine as well as sails) schooner "Jubilee" left Auckland for Niue. She never arrived. By late October/early November the Government steamer "Hinemoa" had searched the Kermadeck Islands for her without success. HMS "Veronica" made enquiries at Niue on her way to Suva. On November 12 the Minister for Marine announced in Parliament that the Government steam ship "Tutanekai" would be used in a search for the"Jubilee". The "Tutanekai" left Auckland early in the morning of November 23. She called into Whangarei later on the same day to pick up bunker coal and left in the evening. She carried a party of men and women who were all probably relatives or friends of the crew and passengers of the "Jubilee". Two were mentioned in the NZ Herald of 23 Nov. as Mr E B Vaile (brother in law of one of the passengers, Mr Head), and Mr M Champion (son of the "jubilee's" Captain). From Whangarei they sailed for the Minerva Reef and Tonga. From Tonga they went to Niue and returned to Auckland via the Kermadeck Islands. There is no indication from the album that they found or discovered what had happened to the "Jubilee". Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Date: 1900
From: NZ Parliamentary Library :Two albums. Construction on the Dunedin and Moeraki Railway, and the annexation of the Cook Islands
By: Baynes, Henry Compton Anderson, active 1900; Burton Brothers (Dunedin, N.Z.); May, Percival, active 1900; Muir & Moodie (Firm); T B Banks and Company
Reference: PA1-q-632
Description: Views of annexation ceremonies, of the local people and their leaders, of Lord Ranfurly and his party which included Naval personel from the Mildura who added presence to the occasions and raised flags during the ceremonies. There are photographs of two lepers on Molokani Island in the Penryn group and the Governor on a pearl shell diving boat on Manihiki. On the way back to New Zealand the Mildura stoped at the Kermadec Islands. Photographs were taken of Sunday (Raoul) and Macaulay Islands, and of the crater on Curtis Island. This part of the album ends with the Mildura in Lyttelton Harbour and the Governor coming ashore in a boat. Most of the rest are scenic shots of the Tourist highlights of New Zealand. There are three photographs of women crossing the Tasman Glacier and boiling a billy. The album ends with a group of photographs of the Channel Islands According to a note at the front of the album, all photographs, other than the New Zealand scenic tourist shots, were taken either by Captain Baynes or P M May, Surgeon, both of HMS Mildura. However, this is one of several albums recording the annexation of the Cook Islands held in the Photograph Archive. Many of the same images occur in all of them and a large number of these came from negatives held in the Malcolm Ross Collection. Malcolm Ross was a New Zealand Journalist who as the correspondent for the Times news paper, accompanied Lord Ranfurly's party on the Mildura, and was responsible for photographing the occasion. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s). Provenance: This album was offered to the National Library of New Zealand by Isabel Baynes, probably the widow of Captain Baynes. It was selected with some other items in July 1935 by Dr Scholefield, New Zealand Parliamentary Librarian, during a visit to Hampton Court Palace where Isabel Baynes lived. From 1935 to 1998 the album was housed in the New Zealand Parliamentary Library.
