Mission Statement: Why did I build this large site
and why did I release it on the Internet?
Short answer:
Because it needed to be done; Amoris causa.
The theme -: New Zealand previous to 1850.
The object of this web site is twofold - firstly to provide the story of New Zealand
previous to 1850, a period usually glossed over in standard history books; secondly to
honour the memory of the early participants in the discovery, exploration, and
settling of this country. New Zealanders today owe so much to the men and
women named or acknowledged in these pages. The web site includes
information on early New Zealand cartography, navigation, exploration,
discovery, surveying and artworks. To search my web site enter a key
