These travelled on the vaka Marumaru Atua which arrived on August 2, 2011, with five sister vakas.

They arrive while the replacement eastern span of the Bay Bridge is under construction.

They berthed on the eastern side of Treasure Island.

Captain Patai, trained in traditional wayfinding and navigation, is in the foreground with another crewman of Marumaru Atua.

The crewman observes a sister vaka nearby.
