Summary[edit]
| Description |
On 19 June 1840 the HMS Herald, having gathered signatures in Te Waipounamu (South Island), arrived near Kāpiti Island. Thomas Bunbury had special instructions from William Hobson to gain the signature of paramount Ngāti Toa rangatira, Te Rauparaha. Luckily for Bunbury, Te Rauparaha had just left Kāpiti for Mana Island and crossed paths with the Herald. Te Rauparaha explained that he had already signed the Cook Strait sheet (www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/15964612413), and that two other rangatira, Te Rangihaeata (www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/18289199718) and Te Hiko, were at Mana. So the Herald was put about and sailed to Mana Island. Here Te Rauparaha and Edward Williams accompanied Bunbury on shore, where they found Te Rangihaeata, but Te Hiko was absent on an expedition to the mainland. No record appears to have been preserved of the negotiations which followed. Bunbury wrote later that 'the chief Rangihaeata, after some time, returned with us on board, accompanied by Rauparaha, when both signed the [Herald Sheet of the] treaty.’ Te Rauparaha therefore signed te Tiriti o Waitangi twice, on two different sheets. This 1850 chart of Mana Island and Porirua Harbour was created by the British Admiralty survey ship, HMS Acheron, and published in 1858. Zoom or download to enlarge. Surveyed by Capt J.L. Stokes and the officers of H.M.S. Acheron Archives Reference: MW676 Box 1/ 5B/ 2588 archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=21488142 This record is part of #Waitangi175, celebrating 175 years since the signing of of te Tiriti o Waitangi.
