New Zealand’s Fiord Heritage: A Guide to the Historic Sites of Coastal Fiordland

Peat, Neville

Fiordland’s wild coastline is the setting for some of New Zealand’s earliest European activity. Sealing and shore whaling industries were initiated in this World Natural Heritage Area. The coast was the venue for the building of the first European house and ship; Captain Cook’s Resolution expedition spent five weeks in ‘Dusky Bay’ in 1773; New Zealand’s first wildlife ranger was stationed there in the late 1890s. This is a guide to the legendary stories, historic locations and sites of these world-famous fiords.
