Frederick North was Assistant Paymaster on board HMS Barrosa (1860), a wooden screw corvette, while it was part of the Royal Navy Flying (Detached) Squadron that sailed from England in June 1869. The squadron visited New Zealand, arriving at Lyttleton on 16 January 1870, although Barrosa arrived at Wellington on 25 January from Melbourne. The Squadron left New Zealand around 10 February 1870 and did not visit the Bay of Islands when it left Auckland.
