Aye aye captain
A sea dog with 50 years experience under canvas will captain a historic vessel during national Tuia 250 commemorations.
Australian man John Dikkenberg will captain the HM Bark Endeavour, a replica of Captain Cook's ship from the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney, during its three-month trip to New Zealand later this year.
The ship is part of a flotilla which will take part in national commemorations at four of Cook's landing places in New Zealand - Gisborne, Meretoto/Ship Cove, the Bay of Islands, and the Coromandel Peninsula.
John visited Marlborough on Monday with other seafarers to scope out areas where the flotilla would berth.
John said he is "excited to celebrate a thousand years of maritime history."
