The Northern Steam Ship Company Ltd (NSS) served the northern half of the North Island of New Zealand from 1881 to 1974. Its headquarters, the Northern Steam Ship Company Building, remains in use on Quay Street, Auckland as a bar and is listed by Heritage New Zealand as a Category I Historic Place.
Origins
Initially there were very few roads and they were muddy and narrow, so a constant theme in early papers was a demand from small coastal settlements for a regular shipping service to link them with the major ports.[2] For example, in 1874 a steamer service from Onehunga to Raglan and Port Waikato was given a subsidy by Auckland Province.[3]
Capt. Alexander McGregor had the steam ship Rowena built in Auckland in 1872. He joined with a syndicate of owners to run the Argyle, Iona, Glenelg, Staffa, Rowena, Fingal and Katikati, as Auckland Steam Packet Co.[4] ASP went into liquidation in 1878[5] due to losses on a ship for the Fiji trade, the SS Llewellyn.[6] On 10 January 1878 ASP had sold Southern Cross for £7000, Go-Ahead for £2500, Pretty Jane for £2350 and the Cantera hulk and her coal for £384, to what was described as a newly formed Auckland company.[7]
On 11 May 1881 nineteen businessmen, including some of the syndicate, formed NSS, buying the ASP's ships. Thomas Morrin, David Cruickshank, Alexander McGregor, Thomas Ball, James Macfarlane and James McCosh Clark were the first directors.[4]
NSS paid a 10% dividend in its first year[8] and started acquiring extra ships. The 256 ton Macgregor entered service in September 1881.[9] In 1883 Capt. McGregor went to Britain to buy new steamers for the Tauranga and Russell routes. In 1884 Clansman and Gairloch arrived.[4] In 1886 the Waimarie was one of the first to have electric lighting.[10]
NSS was also active in opening up new ports, such as at Te Puke in 1881[11] and ports north of Whangārei in 1893.[12]
1887–1921

On 6 June 1888 Capt. McGregor was replaced as manager by Charles Ranson. He retired in 1921, after greatly expanding the company.[13]
1887 industrial dispute
By 1887 the depression[14] was affecting the company; wages and overtime pay were cut,[9] and seamen who objected were replaced with non-unionists.[15] In response the Federated Seamen's Union formed the co-operative Jubilee Steam Ship Co, competing on the northern and Waitara routes. It wasn't expected to succeed,[16] but, between September 1887 and October 1888, the FSU claimed that Jubilee lost £14,000 and NSS £22,000.[17] It also caused another company to withdraw from the west coast,[18] which in the end was helpful to NSS. When Ranson took over, one of his first acts was to re-engage all the FSU members, though he also cut staff. He remained a lifelong friend of the union boss, John A. Millar,[19] and received an award from staff in 1897 for his considerate attitude to them.[20] However, in the 1913 Great Strike, NSS backed a ‘scab’ union (the Auckland Seamen and Firemen's Union).[21]
Charles Ranson, manager
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Charles_Ranson.jpg/220px-Charles_Ranson.jpg)
Charles Ranson was born, in Ipswich[22] about 1850. He emigrated in 1876, managed an auctioneering and shipping business in Hāwera, then went to Auckland as an accountant in 1881. In 1887, he was about to return to England, when NSS director, James McCosh Clark, mentioned that the board had decided to wind up the company. When Charles took over, NSS had 8[23] (or 9)[22] vessels, and 100 employees. When he retired, in July 1921,[24] NSS had 40 vessels[23] and 850 employees. Cargo had increased from 51,000 tons a year to 220,000 and passengers from 39,000 to 190,000.[19]
After his appointment, NSS bought some second-hand screw-steamers, the Rotomahana, Waiotahi and Ohinemuri and small paddle steamers, Te Aroha and Enterprise, to work on the Waihou River.[22] This got rid of another competitor, Hauraki Steamship Co,[25] who sold out to NSS.[13] Much of the expansion of the company was by takeovers.[19] Thames River Steam Navigation Co Ltd was bought on 1 August 1890.[26] In July 1906 NSS bought Manukau Steam Shipping Company.[27] On 1 October 1908 Settlers' Steamship Company (SSC) merged with NSS,[28] adding six steamers to the fleet.[29]
The company slowly recovered from its near liquidation. Until 21⁄2% was paid in 1890, no dividends had been paid since 1881, but then 5% was paid in 1891, 6% 1892-6,[30] 7% in 1897[22] and for many years,[31][32][33][34][35][36] and 8% in 1925.[37] 5% was paid in 1944.[38]
By 1895 NSS was asking for urgent extension of its wharf space at Auckland to serve its growth.[39] In the 1890s the fleet grew rapidly, with new iron ships built in Britain and timber ships in Auckland.[40]
In 1909 NSS and Union Steam Ship (Union) aimed to save money on their repairs, when they set up a jointly owned repair company, United Repairing Co Ltd,[41] at Quay Street, Auckland,[42] which was next door to the NSS offices until 1962.[43] Senior Foundry was bought by NSS in 1927[44] to repair plates and boilers.[45]
Charles was also a steward of the Auckland Racing Club, an enthusiastic bowler, keenly interested in regattas and a church warden. He lived in Bassett Rd, Remuera, where he died on 13 January 1925.[23]
Capt. Hammond took over as manager in 1921,[13] having formerly been manager of Kaipara Steamship Company.[46]
The Northern Steam Ship Company Building, Quay St
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/1898_Northern_Steam_Ship_Company_Ltd_building.jpg/220px-1898_Northern_Steam_Ship_Company_Ltd_building.jpg)
Charles Ranson commissioned Arthur Pollard Wilson (who also designed Strand Arcade, Naval and Family Hotel, A H Nathan Warehouse and Isaacs’ Bonded Stores)[47] to design the £6000 (or £5000)[48] building, with a frontage of 66 ft (20 m) to the street, and a depth of 85 ft (26 m),[49] opposite the wharf used by their steamers, on newly reclaimed land, leased from Auckland Harbour Board (AHB). In 1899 NSS moved from Palmerston Buildings on Queen St to their new 2-storey brick building with dark green joinery, a public office, manager's office, space for other staff, telephone room and a boardroom. It had high ceilings and on each level the floor above was supported by cast iron columns. On Quay St a central door, gave access to the main office and floor above, and an eastern door accessed the wharves (now Marsden Wharf)[50] and warehouse to the rear of the building. A boardwalk allowed passengers to cross to the steamers without walking through mud. A third floor was added in 1921 to provide accommodation and a laundry. In the 1940s many of the original features were lost. Originally the building stood alone. The land on the other side the building was their yard until the 1950s when AHB roofed it over as a garage in an attempt to compete with trucking firms. When NSS ceased trading, the building reverted to AHB.[51] In July 1988 the Historic Places Trust listed it as "Category 1".[52] It is now a bar.[53]
Decline
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Apanui_on_the_Awanui_River.jpg/220px-Apanui_on_the_Awanui_River.jpg)
NSS gradually succumbed to rail and road competition.
When the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT) opened in 1908 between Auckland and Wellington, New Plymouth passenger traffic dropped. NSS and Union agreed there wasn't enough traffic for two steamers and formed a joint service.[55] The office at Canaan Landing, served from May 1881[56] and providing for freight between Te Puke and Maketu, closed on 29 September 1917.[57] By 1922, reductions in traffic resulted in 9 vessels laid up.[58] Pay cuts later in the year resulted in a 12 week strike, with union members replaced by 'free labour'.[59] A pay cut in 1933 again provoked a strike.[60]
In 1925 opening of the railway to Whangārei cut passenger traffic and required reductions of fares and freight rates;[37] the Onerahi passenger service from Whangārei ended on 24 September 1926,[61] due to fewer passengers and charges by the railway for cargo and coal over their wharf.[62] Bus competition[63] saw the Waiuku ferry end on 11 April 1928,[64][65] with a cargo replacement for a short time.[66] Competition from cars,[67] completion of the railway to Tauranga in 1927, trains not connecting with the steamer[68] and complaints of undercutting,[69] brought an end to the Tauranga passenger service on 2 April 1929.[70] Many ships were laid up in Little Shoal Bay in the late 1920s.[71] The Onehunga-New Plymouth passenger service closed on 3 May 1930,[72] a few years after a bus service had started[73] on the upgraded State Highway 3 (SH 3). Rail competition was also cited as the reason to end the passenger service to Russell in 1931.[74] In 1932 dairy company shareholders at Whakatāne responded to a threat to close the railway by instructing the company to transfer its freight from NSS to the railway.[75] In 1933 'truck rates' were introduced on the North Auckland railway, which undercut NSS's charges.[76] The 70 mi (110 km)[77] Auckland-Paeroa passenger service lasted until 1937,[78] despite the railway opening to Te Aroha in 1885,[79] though, after 1896, the river became too silted[80] and the charges at Paeroa Railway Wharf were at a level to encourage use of the railway, so that Junction Wharf, further downstream, was used.[81] In 1937 passenger services still ran to Algies, Coromandel, Great Barrier, Matakana, Mahurangi, One Tree Point, Waiheke, Warkworth and Whangārei.[82] In 1938 Kawau was advertised as running summer weekend excursions to Waiheke.[83] By 1939 the only remaining passenger steamer was Hauiti.[84]
Auckland registered ships dropped from 226 in 1904 to 55 in 1944 and their tonnage from 20,546 to 5,627.[85] In 1902 NSS had 28 ships totalling 6000 tons and costing an average of £34 per ton.[86]
1945–1974
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/StateLibQld_1_140351_Poranui_%28ship%29.jpg/220px-StateLibQld_1_140351_Poranui_%28ship%29.jpg)
By 1945 NSS was down to 10 ships, ranging from 56 to 351 tons.[87] NSS had lost most of its trade to road and rail, so switched to inter-island trade, which it gradually lost to Cook Strait ferries from the 1960s, when it increasingly turned to coal and grain, including some trade with Australia, before losing out to natural gas conversions, a shipwreck (Maranui),[88] trade fluctuations and reliance on the grain trade, which faltered due to a poor harvest in 1974.[89]
NSS briefly tried replacing a ship with a partly owned trucking company, when it closed its Paeroa service in 1947.[90]
Captain A. G. Hardy, formerly New Plymouth manager for the Waterfront Industry Commission, became NSS manager from 5 January 1947.[91]
After the war NSS switched from serving the northern ports to linking some of them to South Island.[92] This required increasingly larger ships, so NSS bought Apanui (1948–61), Tainui (1949–63), Hotunui (1950–67), Ratanui (1952-56), and then started building Maranui (1953–68), Maunganui (1955–71), Poranui (1956–69) and Tawanui (1959–73), Moanui (1961–66), Awanui (1962-73).[89] A major contract in this period was shipping materials for the Manapouri Tunnel.[93] A second Moanui (1967–75)[89] and Seaway Princess (1967–69) were added to the fleet, the latter for a weekly Onehunga-Lyttelton ro-ro service. However, as AHB didn't build a ramp at Onehunga, she had to use the only one at Auckland, sharing it with Union, which had priority, hence her short service with NSS.[89] In the 1960s NSS had offices at Onehunga, Tauranga and Whangārei, as well as its head office.[94] It closed Tauranga-Timaru in July 1966[95] and Whangārei-Lyttelton from 30 January 1967.[96]
By 1970 three of the remaining five ships were carrying bulk grain from South Island to Auckland, Tauranga, and, less often, Wellington, New Plymouth and Whanganui.[89] Dido (1970–75) was added to the fleet and, being largest,[97] was used for 10 grain trips to Australia. At that time Brierley Investments made an unsuccessful bid for the company.[98] NSS made a record profit in 1970.[99] By 1971 Awanui was the only general cargo vessel, running an Onehunga-Bluff-Jackson Bay round trip, but she was also adapted to carry grain in 1972. NSS added the 1562 ton Tainui II (1973–76), but there was a poor grain harvest and, after they were used to import grain from Australia, all three ships were soon idle. NSS blamed the problem on the government's grain price policy.[100][101] Tainui II's last voyage brought coal to Auckland from Westport on 6 November 1974, Moanui 12 days later[89] (or another account says her last cargo was barley from the South Island to Auckland in September)[102] from Dunedin and Dido, the last NSS ship ever to berth, arrived on Sunday 8 December 1974.[89] When NSS failed to change government policy, it decided in April 1975 to sell the ships[103] and the company was taken over by Brierley.[104] For a few years NSS continued operating forklifts and being an agent for the Japan Line.[102]

She was always based in Auckland and replaced Rowena[356] on the east coast route to Mangōnui.[357] On 22 March 1879 she collided very slowly with the brigantine, Linda Weber, when approaching the Railway Wharf at night, damaging equipment on both ships.[358] In 1881, she was among the first in the NSS fleet and was mentioned as being laid up in 1900.[359] However, her last sailings seem to have been to Kūaotunu, Mercury Bay and Kennedy Bay in 1898,[360] in 1899 she dragged her mooring, whilst laid up,[361] and may have been transferred to G. Fraser in 1900. 1903 dismantled. 1909 broken up.[362] |
Kaituna | 1906 | 1906 - 1927 | Not known | 8 | Motor launch on Kaituna River serving Maketu and Canaan's Landing, near Te Puke. An oil engine, built by Union Gas Engine Co, drove her at 7.5 kn (13.9 km/h; 8.6 mph). About 1913 she moved to a twice weekly Tauranga-Katikati service.

Paeroa | 1891 | 1892 - 1917 | Charles Bailey, Auckland | 91 | From about 1890 H. Adams, of Thames ran a barge and launch between Paeroa and Te Aroha (previously abandoned when the railway opened to Te Aroha), moving cargo brought from Auckland by ss Ruby and NSS's Paeroa-Thames boats. Gold, timber, flour and condensed milk traffics were all increasing. Hauraki Steamship Co., built Paeroa and in opposition to her NSS, which was trading between Auckland and Thames with Rotomahana and Enterprise and between Paeroa and Thames with the Patiki, built Ohinemuri to run direct between Wharf Street, Paeroa and Auckland. The fight continued for about 8 months.[493] Steamer built for Hauraki Steam Ship Company (HSSC) to run between Paeroa and Auckland, from 19 October 1891. On 19 November NSS put the Ohinemuri on,[494] though a report said Ohinemuri was 15 minutes slower to Turua than the Paeroa.[495] Competition reached the stage of an already reduced return fare of 6s.[496] being reduced, firstly to 2s.[497] and later to a shilling,[498][499] for the trip of almost 70 mi (110 km) each way from Kopu to Auckland. Competition ended in June 1892, when HSSC sold Paeroa to NSS and agreed not to compete on the Waihou River.[500] Paeroa was repainted in NSS colours on 16 June 1892[501] and began serving Paeroa twice a week for NSS.[502] From April 1896 she, Waimarie and Ohinemuri provided a service most days. By then the return fare had risen to 15s.[503] She was replaced by Taniwha in 1898.[504]![]() ![]() |
