Synopsis

The ships "The Spirit of Adventure" and "The Spirit of New Zealand" ply the traditional sea lanes of early New Zealand along with thousands of modern day adventurers of all ages, not only in these craft but in thousands of pleasure boats. As they pass the many landmarks, headlands, rocks and reefs many question the history and origin of the names given to such places. "Landmarks from the Spirits" is a handbook for sailors and landsmen alike taking readers from Whangaroa in the north to Stewart Island in the south. It is linked by the many voyages of "The Spirit of Adventure" and "The Spirit of New Zealand" and notes the many points of interest that may be sighted by modern day sailors. This book is not a comprehensive guide; it is a collection of informative and humorous stories collected from many sources, both written and oral, that will assist the reader to understand the origins and names of many places and give the reader an appreciation of a small part of New Zealand's maritime history.
