HBH 1890 June 13 CAMPBELL-Mc MECHAN Melbourne Two "ancient mariners" have just died in MELBOURNE namely, Captain Campbell (aged 85) and Captain Mc MECHAN (aged 81). Captain CAMPBELL left Scotland for Hobart Town in 1825, and had as eventful subsequent careers as the New Zealand hero Captain BARRY. He went to Victoria in 1836, and was for many years engaged in whaling pursuits at Port Fairy. Before the gold rush he was made harbor-master in MELBOURNE, a position he held right through the busy and anxious time of the early fifties and down to 1869. Captain Mc MECKAN, who was also a colonist since the "thirties," must be known to many in New Zealand. He was of the firm Mc MECHAN, BLACKWOOD and Co., who started the steam service between Melbourne and Dunedin, the Bluff, and Hokitika. The ALDINGA, ALBAMBRA, ALBION, and RINGAROOMA were some of the best known boats. Eventually the present Union Company brought out the firm's New Zealand trade.
