Ko John Webber te tohungatā i te haerenga tuatoru a Kāpene Hēmi Kuki ki Te Moananui-a-Kiwa. He whakaahua nō te tau 1777 pea, e whakaatu ana i tētahi waka nō Tahiti e mau ana i tētahi matairangi ki tōna kotokoto. He maha ake ngā huringa o ngā hau i ngā huringa o ngā āmai, āta mātakitakina ai te matairangi kia mōhiotia e pēhea ana te pupuhi o te hau, kia pai ai te whakatikatika i ngā rā. Ko te mahi a te urungi, he hautū i te waka kia hāngai ki te pupuhi o te hau.
