Horouta not Takitimu

Gundry, Sheridan – Historic journeys; East Coast Driving Tours. Publ. New Zealand Historic Places Trust, Gisborne Branch Committee, Gisborne 2000, says:

"Kiwa (after whom Gisborne - Turanganui-a-Kiwa - was named) was the great sea-going navigator of the ancient Horouta waka. It landed in the Gisborne area and his descendants, and others who voyaged to the district aboard Horouta and other waka including Takitimu and Te Ikaroa-a-Rauru, were among the first settlers in the region." (p. 6).
