The Spöring Memorial (top) in Turku, Finland, featuring a rock from the island, Pourewa. The island was once known as Spöring Island, after the Finnish draughtsman Herman Spöring, the first Finn to land in New Zealand in 1769. This island is in Tolaga Bay and lies just offshore from Cook’s Cove, seen here in the distance (bottom).
