Notes Oars believed to have been made by colonial troops under Colonel Whitmore, while pursuing Te Kooti in the Lake Waikaremoana area,circa 1869. During the pursuit of Te Kooti into Urewera territory, Lt. Col. J L Herrick built one or two boats while at Onepoto, in order to cross Lake Waikaremoana. James Cowan records some detail about the boats in The New Zealand Wars, Volume II After reaching Waikaremoana Herrick's force "settled down to build boats and pontoons at Onepoto - " but the expedition was subsequently recalled and "two large boats were sunk in the lake, and one whaleboat was buried on the shore - " and later captured by the Hauhaus.(p359) The whaleboat and one of the other boats were was subsequently recovered during a second military expedition to Lake Waikaremoana in May-June 1870. This comprised a Maori contingent led by Government Interpreter Mr Edwin Hamlin, accompanied by a few Pakeha officers. "The Maoris had already raised a small boat buried by Colonel Herrick at Onepoto, which had escaped the search of the Hauhaus, but the other one - a whaleboat sunk near Onepoto - the Hauhaus had found, and daily paraded before their foes on the lake."(p.401) Major J.T. Large, a volunteer with the Ngaietu hapu, wrote "a number of our young men - conceived the idea of making a dash to the head of the western inlet at Mahungarerewai and capturing the big canoes and whaleboat - I was the only white man they took with them. We surprised the Hauhaus who offer5ed no resistance, and we came back in the morning in triumph to Matuahu with four or five large canoes and the whale-boat." (p.405) See also notes on file.
