War broke out again in 1863 with the Invasion of the Waikato. To assist in this war, a temporary navy was established. This was the Waikato Flotilla, New Zealand's first de facto navy, comprising eight riverboats, four armoured barges, five coastal boats and a naval dockyard. The Waikato War, including the Tauranga Campaign, was the biggest of all the New Zealand Wars. This Parliamentary Paper covers the period from April to July 1864 and contain descriptions of military engagements between the two sides, as well as despatches and diplomatic correspondence.
