    First whaling ship in New Zealand

    Maori didn't hunt whales before the Europeans arrived but if they found one washed up they would eat it. The first whaling ship, from America, came to New Zealand waters at 1791. Over the next ten years the New Zealand waters became a very popular place to catch whales.
