Ko Te Toki-a-Tāpiri tētahi o ngā waka taua ruarua nō te rau tau 1800. E 25 mita tōna roa, ka tareka e ia te e 100 tāngata te kawe. Nō te takiwā o te tau 1836 ka hangaa te waka rā mō Te Waaka Tarakau o Ngāti Kahungunu. I mua i tōna otinga, ka tukuna te waka ki a Te Waaka Perohuka o Rongowhakaata, nā rātou ko ōna huānga te tauihu, te taurapa me ngā taumanu i whakairo. Nāwai ā, ka taka te taonga nei ki a Ngāpuhi, nō muri ki a Ngāti Te Ata, nō muri rawa ki a Ngāti Whātua, ā, i te mutunga, ka taka rawa iho te waka nei ki ngā ringaringa o te kāwanatanga. Kei te whare taonga o Tāmaki-makau-rau i tēnei wā.
