Abstract

On 7 October 1769 Captain Cook sailed into a beautiful open bay after making his first landfall on the New Zealand coast. Two days later he hauled about and set out of the bay with neither the water nor the provisions he needed. "Poverty Bay" he called it and Poverty Bay it has been called to this day, in spite of efforts to rename the area "Gisborne-East Coast" and various other more suitable names.
