Location
Oamaru. The Deputy Master was directly responsible also for Kakanui Harbour and Allday Bay
Relevant Legislation
Establishment:
Not known
Disestablishment:
Not known
Acts of the General Assembly:
Marine Act 1867
Marine Act Amendment Act 1870
- Harbour Master may examine master and mate to receive pilotage certificate for particular ship
- if Harbour Master refuses to examine master and mate, Commissioner of Customs may take over
Abolition of Provinces Act 1875
- costs of harbours (etc) to be borne from Consolidated Fund
Other Authorities:

- Superintendent to license ballast lighters
- Superintendent to license watermen
- Superintendent to appoint Health Officer, Board of Health
(Amended) Harbour Regulations - by Governor (1 September 1869, in OPGG, 1869, p. 181)
Responsible Minister
Provincial Secretary and Treasurer and Secretary for Lands 1872-1874
Provincial Treasurer 1874-1876
Controlling Organisation:
N.B. Under the Marine Act 1866, the Governor controlled the agency unless he delegated his authority to the Superintendent. The agency could therefore be considered to be under the general-government control in part, although its funds came from the provincial government and it reported to the provincial government. After the abolition of the provinces (1876), the general government had responsibility.
Notes
Scope of documentation:
This documentation is concerned primarily with the period of provincial government (1853-1876). Information outside that period has not been sought.
Agency status and dates:
It is not known for certain whether the Deputy Harbour-Master (and office) at Oamaru did constitute a separate agency in archival terms, or, if so, from what exact date. These matters cannot readily be confirmed without further research. As no archives from the agency (or non-agency) are held by Archives New Zealand, no further time is being spent on this theoretical question.

[history] => Oamaru Harbour was under the direct control of the Harbour Department at Port Chalmers (AAGD) until the early 1870s. Sometime around 1872, the Deputy Harbour Master appears to have been given additional authority, and to have become responsible for Kakanui Harbour and Allday Bay. He sent annual reports to the Chief Harbour Master.
