Photo / Napier City Council Hawkes Bay Today By: Michael Fowler When Lieutenant James Cook sailed into what he would call Hawke s Bay in October 1769, the entrance to the inner harbour lagoon, Te Whanganui-a-Orotū, was at Keteketerau (Bay View). James Cook referred to Te Whanganui-a-Orotū as a pretty lake of saltwater . Tu Ahuriri was the son of Tu Maro, a Ngai-Tara chief. Setting out from Hataitai near Wellington, he arrived In Hawke s Bay and camped at what is now Ahuriri. At this time, the entrance to the lagoon at Keteketerau was blocked. This was a problem as fresh water from the Tutaekuri River was filling up the lagoon and interfering with the health of shellfish, which depended upon a tidal flow of sea water. Some kāinga (houses) were also flooded.
