Description
A colour slide showing a frigate entering the Tauranga harbour. The photograph was taken from Mauao. Recorded by the photographer as ‘Mount Manganui. Frigate ‘Waikato’ entering Tauranga harbour’. "Described as the most modern warship of her type in the world, New Zealand's Navy's new frigate, HMNZS Waikato, berthed at Mount Maunganui at the end of her maiden voyage from England. During the journey she called at the Azores, Trinidad, Balboa, San Diego, Hawaii and Pago-Pago. The sea was flat calm and weather conditions were brilliant as she sailed into the harbour past the Mount." Bay of Plenty Photo News, 24 June 1967
