TI POINT – Then & Now

A good friend owns the land we see in the above photos and came across the photos (Hamilton Library, strange location but it happens) while researching the original site / location of the Ti Point Wharf. 

A stunning piece of coastline then and today – see photos below. Also home to award winning Ti Point Olive oil.

If you have behaved during the year, Santa will be sliding down your chimney tonight – I have high hopes my hints have been picked up on 😉

Ti Point Wharf Waitangi Day 1934 + Win A WW T-shirt

This is one of my favourite photos, it shows a great mix of launch styles & sizes, all coming together alongside the Ti Point Wharf, for a Waitangi Day celebration on 10-02-1934.
The photo comes to us ex Old North Auckland / Northland fb via Lew Redwood.
I included a recent photo I took of the same view, taken from the hilltop property of a woody, looking down on the wharf area.
I’ll give away a WW t-shirt (see below) to the woody that can ID the most launches in the photo – Nathan Herbert will be the judge of the winner.

Input from Hugh Gladwell – “I don’t think that’s Ti Point. The tide goes in and out at 3 knots through the channel,the headland to the right is out of place and there is no sandy beach on the Ti Point side”
