Te Whanganui / Port Underwood is a sheltered harbour which forms the north-east extension of Te Koko-o-Kupe / Cloudy Bay at the northeast of New Zealand's South Island, on the east coast of the Marlborough Sounds. With only a relatively narrow entrance to the south-south-east it is sheltered from almost all winds. Originally considered part of Cloudy Bay, the port was named after Joseph Underwood of the shipping firm Kabel and Underwood in the early 19th century. The name of the harbour was officially altered to Te Whanganui / Port Underwood in August 2014.

  • La baie de Te Whanganui, également connue sous son nom anglais Port Underwood, est une ria située à l'extrême sud-est des Marlborough Sounds, en Nouvelle-Zélande. Elle est dotée de caractéristiques géographiques, géologiques et hydrologiques relativement différentes de celles des autres rias, du fait de son isolement. La baie de Te Whanganui joue un rôle important dans l'histoire de la région, notamment à partir de la colonisation anglaise, ainsi que dans la mise en place de la chasse à la baleine. Au XXIe siècle, les autorités comme la population prennent conscience des enjeux écologiques, parfois de manière contradictoire. (fr)
  • Te Whanganui / Port Underwood is a sheltered harbour which forms the north-east extension of Te Koko-o-Kupe / Cloudy Bay at the northeast of New Zealand's South Island, on the east coast of the Marlborough Sounds. With only a relatively narrow entrance to the south-south-east it is sheltered from almost all winds. Originally considered part of Cloudy Bay, the port was named after Joseph Underwood of the shipping firm Kabel and Underwood in the early 19th century. There is evidence of a large Māori population at various times prior to European arrival in New Zealand. In the 1820s the local Rangitane were defeated by the Ngāti Toa chief Te Rauparaha. Sealers first visited about 1826 and were followed immediately by whalers. John Guard, who had started a whaling station in Tory Channel the previous year, set up a subsidiary station at Kakapo Bay in 1828. By 1840 there were approximately 150 Europeans in the area, probably the largest concentration in the South Island at that time. Large numbers of southern right whales and humpback whales were hunted in the bay, resulting in destroying these populations and rarities of their sightings in the bay nowadays. On 16 June HMS Herald arrived with Major Thomas Banbury on board bringing the Treaty of Waitangi for the South Island chiefs to sign. This took place on Horahora-Kakahu Island just offshore from the eastern shoreline. The only European to sign the Treaty as one of the cedants, Joseph Thomas, son-in-law of Te Rauparaha's elder brother Nohorua, signed on 16 June. Nouhora himself, initially reluctant to sign, did so the following day. A commemorative bronze plaque marking the occasion was unveiled here on 3 October 1964. The name of the harbour was officially altered to Te Whanganui / Port Underwood in August 2014. (en)
  • Te Whanganui / Port Underwood è un approdo riparato che costituisce l'estensione a nord-est di a nord-est dell'Isola del Sud della Nuova Zelanda, sulla costa orientale dei Marlborough Sounds. Con una sola entrata relativamente stretta a sud-sud-est, è al riparo da quasi tutti i venti. Inizialmente considerato parte di Cloudy Bay, il porto prese il nome da Joseph Underwood, della compagnia di navigazione Kabel e Underwood all'inizio del XIX secolo. Vi sono riscontri di una vasta popolazione Māori nell'area prima dell'arrivo degli europei in Nuova Zelanda. Nel 1820, i Rangitane vi furono sconfitti da Te Rauparaha, capo dei . I cacciatori di foche visitarono la baia per la prima volta intorno al 1826 e furono immediatamente imitati dai balenieri. , che aveva installato una stazione di caccia alla balena a l'anno precedente, nel 1828 fondò una stazione sussidiaria nella baia di Kakapo. La frequentazione crebbe e nel 1840 c'erano circa 150 europei nell'area, probabilmente la maggiore concentrazione nell'Isola del Sud in quel momento. Un gran numero di balene meridionali e megattere sono state cacciate nella baia, provocando la distruzione di queste popolazioni nella zona. Il 16 giugno, la HMS Herald arrivò con il maggiore Thomas Banbury a bordo, incaricato di portare il Trattato di Waitangi per la firma dei capi dell'Isola del Sud. La cerimonia avvenne sull'isola di Horahora-Kakahu, al largo della costa orientale. L'unico europeo a firmare il trattato come uno dei cedenti era Joseph Thomas, genero del fratello maggiore di Te Rauparaha, Nohorua, e firmò il 16 giugno. Lo stesso Nouhora, inizialmente riluttante, firmò il trattato il giorno seguente. Una targa commemorativa in bronzo che celebra l'evento fu inaugurata a Port Underwood il 3 ottobre 1964. Il nome del porto è stato ufficialmente modificato in Te Whanganui/Port Underwood nell'agosto 2014. (it)
