The MB Museum Society has recently
produced an excellent video entitled, Twelve Days
- Captain Cook in Mercury Bay - 1769. (40 min)
This historical event is recorded
with a wonderful humourous touch, having two actors
fishing, one Maori, the other Pakeha, discussing events
of that visit.
For further inquiries or to order
the video, call the Whitianga Visitor Information Centre
under +0064 7 866 5555 or send an email to: info@mercurybaymuseum.co.nz |
