Lonely Planet review for Voyager – New Zealand Maritime Museum
This well-presented museum traces NZ’s seafaring history from Maori voyaging canoes to the America’s Cup. Recreations include a tilting 19th-century steerage-class cabin and a fab 1950s-era bach (holiday home). Its newest showcase, Blue Water Black Magic, is a tribute to Sir Peter Blake, the Whitbread-Round-The-World and America’s Cup-winning yachtsman who was murdered in 2001 while on an environmental monitoring trip on the Amazon. Check the website for details of semiregular historic steamboat and sailing-shipcruises.
