National Maritime Museum, New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Maritime Museum is New Zealands premier maritime museum. It is located at the waterfront of Auckland, close to the Viaduct Harbour. It holds ships, models and related exhibition pieces spanning New Zealands maritime history from the first polynesian explorers to modern day triumphs at the America's Cup.
Its Maori name is 'Te Huiteanaui-A-Tangaroa' - holder of the treasures of Tangaroa (the Sea God).
A revised $NZ 8 million extension, to be built in the coming years, will house a permanent exhibition about Sir Peter Blake, including the original NZL 32 (Black Magic). The exhibition will be called Blue Water, Black Magic.[1]
