Loading kauri, Hokianga, 1839

I tāia tēnei whakaahua i te tau 1839. E tō ana tētahi poti i ngā poro kauri ki te kaipuke Francis Spaight. E ahu mai ana ēnei poro rākau i te iari kani i Kohukohu ki Hokianga. He mea whakamahi ēnei poro (e karangatia ana he spars) hei tira kaipuke, ā, koinei ētahi o ngā taonga hoko ki tai tuatahi a Aotearoa. Ko ēnei ngā tūmomo ahumoni i mahia e ngā tīpuna i mua i te hainatanga o Tiriti o Waitangi i te tau 1840.

I there. Do you have any information regarding the letters RPG embossed on kauri logs during the kauri trading days in the Hokianga?
