Ocean Tales of Voyaging and Encounter that Defined New Zealand

Ocean Tales of Voyaging and Encounter that Defined New Zealand by Ell Sarah, published by Penguin Random House in 2018.

Lying in the middle of a vast ocean, Aotearoa New Zealand was the last habitable land mass in the world to be settled by humans. Our history represents the powerful coming-together of two great seafaring traditions, Polynesian and European. Ocean tells the stories of pioneers and trail-blazers, from the big names who left their mark on our history to everyday folk whose fates were dictated by time and tide. There are chancers and entrepreneurs, exploiters and environmentalists, war-makers and lifesavers.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves animals and the natural world.
