Description
The first immigrants sailed to New Zealand from the Central Pacific in large double hulled waka built using only natural materials and stone tools. Abel Tasman sailed up the West Coast of New Zealand in 1642. He did not sail for fame or glory, but was to discover new lands with goods to trade back to Europe. This book follows two of these voyages and their dramatic point of coincidence in Golden Bay.
