This is the last opportunity in Auckland for 2019 before she sets sail on many adventures over the summer.
This is the perfect opportunity to sail around the Auckland harbour; hoist the sails, helm the Ship or sit back, go for the ride and enjoy the view. You will also be treated to freshly baked treats for morning tea.
Spaces are limited. We look forward to having you on the ship.
Hi Neighbours, Auckland has 3 electric buses and Marrakesh had 15 - two years ago. Former PM Helen Clark thinks the city can be far more ambitious in meeting the UN's sustainable development goals. Do you think we could show the way? Read the story below.

We're hoping to find out who the people are in these 110-year-old photographs, and (if we're lucky) who the keen amateur photographer was. Could they be members of your family?

The images were gifted to us in 2016 as glass plate negatives, after being initially purchased in the 1970s from Auckland's City Markets (now Aotea Square). We know nearly nothing about them but the photos give a few clues. They were taken in the early 1900s, mostly in Auckland but also across the North Island. There are also suggestions of the photographer’s links to the Auckland Jewish community.
We want to know more to help tell their stories. Do you recognise any of these people?
Contact us at pictorial@aucklandmuseum.com if you have any further clues. Please share with family and friends if you think they may be able to help!
