Following Cook's reports of seals aplenty in New Zealand, ships dropped sealing gangs round southern New Zealand, and occasionally due to misadventure, they were never picked up!! These were followed by the Whalers seeking their bounty, but in both cases, the bounty soon was exhausted.
Some of these men married Maori wives. Firstly, for land ownership often followed the female line. And if an iwi (tribe) had a tame European they were better equipped to deal with traders, some of whom did not have the highest ethics.
By the early 1800s a working knowledge of English was a not uncommon Maori accomplishment, and the arrival of missionaries improved the penetration of the written word.
