Maori war-canoe at Tauranga, New Zealand, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by Lieutenant Robley, of the 68th Regiment, '...now stationed at Tauranga...The natives of the shores of the Bay of Plenty were not all hostile to the British settlement, and the camp of Tauranga was often visited by large parties of these people, bringing potatoes, fish, or wild peaches, for the purpose of trade. The canoe here represented was one belonging to Maungatapu, a village of the Ngatihi tribe. It was made of the totara, or pine, with a length of sixty or seventy feet, and a breadth of about four feet, painted with red ochre and oil. This canoe was paddled by fifty men'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
