Summary[edit]

Description

After proclaiming British sovereignty over Rakiura (Stewart Island) by right of discovery, Thomas Bunbury sailed north to Ruapuke Island on the HMS Herald. According to T. Lindsay Buick, they arrived on 9 June 1840.

Ruapuke Island was the home of prominent Ngāi Tahu rangatira, Hone (Jack) Tuhawaiki, who came aboard the Herald in a full dress staff uniform of a British aide de camp, with gold lace trousers and cocked hat and plume. He signed the Herald Sheet of te Tiriti o Waitangi, either on the night of 9 June, or the next morning (10 June). His name was recorded as John Touwaick: www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/12195648904. Two other rangatira, recorded as Kaikoura and Taiaroa, signed on 10 June.
