Since the first Polynesian voyagers made landfall in their double-hulled sailing canoes, new arrivals have continually rediscovered and redefined Auckland's harbour. Waitemata, 'sparkling waters', originated as a name from a rock off Kauri Point. Settlers from Britain and other parts of Europe navigated into the Waitemats to create the 'City of Sails'.
Sea Edge: Where the Waitemata Meets Auckland is a collection of old and new stories, vignettes of the past and visions of the future, accompanied by many unpublished photographs and illustrations. It ranges widely, with 74 individual sections, each adding a fresh flavour to the story of Auckland's vibrant, beautiful sea edge.
The past and present of Auckland's waterfront comes alive in this handsome hardback book. Told with Bob Harvey's flair and richly illustrated in full colour, Sea Edge captures the role that port and harbour have played in the growth of New Zealand's commercial capital, and showcases the dynamic redevelopment of the waterfront today.Featured in the 7 June 2018 New Zealand newsletter.
