What about Aranga up north....Named after the Spanish ship that crashed there...We were told the old hall was made out of the ship...plus the Chinese junks that are found in the sand dunes around from pouto point... much bigger ship bones still in the sand we see now and then on our beaches and ships still in mud in Dargaville....

The Spanish arrived at Tahiti before Cook. Cook showed Tupia a book of all the European flags and asked him if any other ships displayed these flags before the British one. Tupia immediately without hesitation pointed at the Spanish flag in the book. Whether the Spanish or Portugese made it to NZ before Tasman, insufficient evidence at this time.

I had read the helmet and cannon ball were likely Portuguese..possibly from Mendonsa in 1520 or such? .a book by Peter Trickett. There is a 550 odd year old stone stockade on the far south Coast of NSW.. enjoying the stories lads.

I agree. It seems the Pacific gets a big one every so often

I would not be surprised if European and Chinese visitors came to NZ but I doubt they interacted with Maori mainly because Maori are a smart and fast adopters of technology and they lack at least 2 technologies that would be so useful to them that Spanish and Chinese would have known. Firstly archery and secondly pottery both ideal for catching and cooking birds and fish.

That would explain how the Maoris (who have no proof or evidence of ever sailing anywhere else) got the South American sweet potato that they call Kumara, and also the Maoris use the word Tuna for eels, which was a Spanish word that was recorded in 15th century documents (before NZ was discovered) describing fish that they had no name for, so it was a general word used by the Spanish.

Pretty much why Pacific Islanders are strong. You're on small islands so it's small populations and if the only people who survive and give their offspring are the strongest ones who are durable enough to survive then only the strong people will populate the future generations of that island's population. If you have constant war, and only the strongest win the battles and survive to give their offspring, then you have present day Pacific Islanders (Including Maori).
