 On a trip around the East Cape of New Zealand, we came across this very out-of-the-way cove. Captain Cook’s ship “Endeavour”  anchored in the shallow waters for repairs in 1769. There is a natural arch leading through to Tolaga Bay. This is the view from the Tolaga Bay side of the arch into Cook’s Cove. In the original painting a tiny figure can be seen descending the slope towards the arch, emphasising the grand scale of the scenery.
