Auckland - New Zealand Maritime Museum

On Hobson Wharf, at the northwest end of Quay Street, is the New Zealand Maritime Museum, offering a comprehensive survey of the history of seafaring in New Zealand. The exhibits include Maori canoes and outrigger boats, whaling equipment and old instruments and implements. A section is devoted to New Zealand yachts that have distinguished themselves in international regattas. The exhibition includes the yacht in which a New Zealand crew skippered by Sir Peter Blake won the America's Cup in 1995.
