Notes

In 1852 1,792 canoes entered the harbour of Auckland, bringing to market by this means alone 200 tons of potatoes, 1,400 baskets of onions, 1,700 baskets of maize, 1,200 baskets of peaches, 1,200 tons of firewood, 45 tons of fish, and 1,300 pigs besides flax, poultry and vegetables . . . (Swainson, 1853:142).

In 1843 the missionary Richard Taylor counted over a hundred canoes beached for one hui, or gathering, along a remote upper tributary of the Wanganui

53 small vessels were registered as being in native ownership and the annual total of native canoes entering the Waikato was more than 1,700. This was the golden age of Maori agriculture. (New Zealand Law Society, 1989, p. 7)

Quoted: "The wheat was transported in two separate halves of a large canoe. The ends of the halves were boarded up to form two barges. The reason for this being that the whole canoe was too long to be used for the purpose. Possibly this was one of the waka that the Ngati Haua, when the abandoned their pas at Waharoa in 1840 and having no further use for their waka, presented to the Ngatipaoa at Tahuna"
