The Explorative Spirit of a Seafaring Nation
New Zealand’s geographic isolation has served to forge our identity as a country, and as New Zealanders. We are a nation of innovators, of dreamers, and of pioneers. People who are driven to find their own course, to seek out new possibilities with imagination and conviction. Nowhere stronger is this expression of our New Zealand identity than through our bond with the ocean.
From the first discovery by Kupe, to one of the most courageous migrations by the Polynesian peoples, to Abel Tasman and then Cook.
Our spirit of exploration has been forged and the boundaries of possibility are broken. From this spirit has emerged many of the world’s greatest maritime pioneers.
New Zealand’s most celebrated mariner, Sir Peter Blake was a peerless ocean racer and passionate environmentalist. This stunning new permanent exhibition celebrates his remarkable achievements, as well as paying tribute to New Zealand’s world-renowned design and yachting prowess.
