Summary
| Description |
English: The Tainui Landing Memorial in Torpedo Bay Reserve, Devonport, Auckland. It was erected in 1959 and marks the landing place of the Tainui waka in the Waitematā Harbour c. 1350. This waka is the ancestral canoe of the Tainui confederation of Māori tribes (iwi). The monument as a whole is the work of local stonemason Ernest Victor Trayes. The bronze statue of a bird on an orb is a replica of Korotangi, a Tainui stone statue of a weeping dove which travelled from Hawaiki onboard the Tainui canoe. This bird was donated by Māori King Korokī. |
