Waka taua, 1769

I kitea tēnei waka taua i waho atu o Te Ika-a-Rongomai i Te Tai Rāwhiti, i te haerenga tuatahi mai o Kuki i te tau 1769. Kei runga i te waka ko te tauihu, me te taurapa inā kē te kaitā. Hei whakarākei i te waka, ko ngā puhi taioreore o te waka. Inā anō te tau o ngā whakairoiro o ngā rauawa kei ngā tahataha. He mea here ēnei ki te takere o te waka kia mania tōna rere i te moana.
