Napier artist Cinzah Merkens has created the artwork decking the museum on Hobson Wharf in the Viaduct.
The renowned contemporary artist said that while all his murals are personally significant, some, like this one, take on a special quality.
"It was a pleasure to be able to exemplify the Maritime Museum’s increasing focus on ocean health and sustainability by making the predominant design element of the mural the natural environment of the Hauraki Gulf and the Waitematā.”
A life-sized humpback whale and giant octopus, hammerhead and mako sharks, kahawai, and snapper swim amongst sea grasses and other ocean habitats.
Matariki and other celestial navigation markers fill the night sky, with Auckland’s iconic Rangitoto presiding in the background.
The flowing waves representing ancestors' journeys to Aotearoa are enhanced by depictions of the waka hourua Haunui and the brigantine Breeze, vessels berthed in the Maritime Museum marina.

Tui Emma Gillies and Sulieti Fieme'a Burrows are presenting a collection of tapa created after the Covid-19 lockdown which portrays navigating a changed world in the middle of a pandemic.
Their four-day exhibition, Voyagers: The Niu World, opens on February 20 at the Tautai Gallery in Karangahape Road, Auckland.
Their works depict faces wearing tapa-patterned masks, families together in lockdown, three 1.8-metre-wide paintings of navigation and journey and two larger ngatu.
“The waves have never been bigger or more threatening, the storms have never been so savage, the fires have never been so close and hot," said Burrows.
"We are expressing this in the medium we were brought up in, tapa painting, which has been passed down from generation to generation by those people who made the original voyages and their ancestors before them.
" This exhibition is dedicated to all us voyagers who are navigating the ‘Niu World.’”
The new school year is upon us! Though we can’t predict what 2021 will bring, we can set our children up for success, and help them start the school year strong.

Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
