First published in 1870 under its much longer subtitle, Travels in Southern Waters is based on the journals of Lieutenant the Hon. Herbert Meade and his time served on HMS Curaçoa and HMS Esk. He spent time in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands at a critical time in European exploration and colonization. Covering the period from December 1864 through to November 1866, Meade was an eyewitness to many events of historical significance. The book includes:
— The Tauranga Campaign and the aftermath of Gate Pā.
— The colonial struggle against the Pai Mārire movement.
— A trip to Lake Taupō on behalf of Governor Sir George Grey. 
— Abduction, ultimate escape and return to Auckland via Napier.
— Patrols around the Pacific Islands and the politics of the region.
— The Fijian wars led by Seru Epenisa Cakobau.
— A critical look at missionary expansion and activity in the Pacific.
Meade’s critical eye and wry sense of humour makes this both an informative and enjoyable read.
