A view of Murderers Bay
Produced in 1642 by Isaac Gilsemans, this sketch depicts one of the earliest encounters between the Ngāti Tūmatakōkiri tribe of the Nelson area, and Pākehā in the form of the Dutch at Golden Bay. Abel Tasman had named the place Murderers Bay after four of his men were killed by Tūmatakōkiri.
