In 2018, occurred the uncovering after a severe storm, still in good condition, of one of David Kirkwood’s vessels, the 53ft (17m) schooner ‘Daring’. It had gone ashore at Te Oneone Rangatira Beach just south of the Kaipara Harbour entrance in February, 1865. This has led to it being uplifted and displayed alongside Mangawhai Museum by the Mangawhai Daring Trust, north of Auckland, nearby where it had originally been built in 1863. A consequence has been a lot more research going into its wider circumstances during the 1860s, including David Hutchison’s story which is a significant part of the history surrounding this discovery.
