"It is singular that the ship's company should consist of the following nations: two natives of Tahiti, one of Hawaii, one of New Zealand, one European native of New Holland, one American, one from Sweden, one from Norway, one from Prussia, and English and Irish!"
1815 Marsden thinks NZ is a sort of Tower of Babel for the islands of the Pacific..
"I consider New Zealand as the great Emporium of the South Sea Islands, inhabited by a numerous race of very intelligent men. From my own observation of the natives belonging to the different islands in these seas (excepting the natives of New Holland), I think they are originally the same people, their language being very similar. Should the natives of New Zealand receive the Gospel, all the other islands also may be expected to receive its blessings."
