I'm seeking Captain Burgess, listed briefly in the on-line New Zealand Maritime Museum index. He's Burgess, (? William Henry), Role: Pilot, Flourished: 1871 - 1884. Source: [Auckland Harbour Board personnel] 1871-1907, Pages 1 - 7. Abstract: Master of PS TAINUI (70352) in 1890. The 'Watt Index' should be consulted for fuller details.

I think he's mine, b 1858, Hawke's Bay. Any ideas on how to find out more about him, gratefully received, or about other masters / pilots of the era, to rule them out . . .
