  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data
    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

  • History Time Line of Napier and Hawke's
    HISTORY TIME LINE OF NAPIER AND HAWKE’S BAY A partial timeline of Napier and Hawke’s Bay 1769-1974. Port Ahuriri 1866 by Charles Decimus Barraud, 1822-1897: A view from Bluff Hill, Napier, looking north down to Westshore and Port Ahuriri. There are houses on a spit of land surrounded by water and further low- lying islands without houses. A steam ship and a number of sailing ships can be seen in the harbor. Ref: D-040-002. Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, New Zealand. /records/32199839 Introduction: Ngāti Kahungunu trace their origins to the Tākitimu waka, which arrived in Aotearoa from Rarotonga around 1100-1200 AD. Tamatea Ariki Nui, the captain of Tākitimu, settled in Tauranga, and is buried on top of Mauao, called Mount Maunganui today. Tamatea Ariki Nui had a son called Rongokako, and he had a son called Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana, which means “Tamatea explorer of land and sea.” It is from Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana that we have the longest place name, located at Porongahau – “Taumatawhakatangihangakōauauatamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronuku pokaiwhenuakitānatahu” where Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana played a flute to his lover. It is the son of Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana named Kahungunu that Ngāti Kahungunu comes from. Kahungunu travelled widely and eventually settled on the East Coast. His grandson Rakaihikuroa, migrated with his son Taraia, their families and followers, from Nukutaurua on the Māhia Peninsula to Heretaunga (Hawke’s Bay area). Eventually, Heretaunga was brought under the control of his people, who became the first Ngāti Kahungunu as we know it today in Hawke’s Bay.

    75 Years of Methodism in Woodville 1876-1951 by C.B.Oldfield The Present Church – opened 1887 (Photo A. Garlick) Wesley Historical Society (NZ) Publication 9(3) 1951 Page 1 75 Years of Methodism in Woodville 1876-1951 by C.B.Oldfield Foreword. To read the records of the past seventy-five years of Methodism in Woodville is to review almost sacred history. One cannot but be deeply impressed by the loyalty to Christ and His Church, or by the sincerity of the people of those days, who, in spite of primitive conditions, together with hard toil, laid down their tools on Sunday to worship. For them life was full of the Presence of God. Even the record of minutes of meetings can suddenly come to life revealing the joys of their successes, or heart-searching when the way proved difficult, or their determination that come what may in the end all would be well, for God was with them. The years have vindicated their earnest prayers and faith. The pattern of Methodism in this district is clearly defined. This is because we are most fortunate to possess almost complete records from 1885 to the present day, and this is a tribute to those early secretaries, especially to Mr. Thomas Moore, secretary of the first Trust until his death in 1888, and to Mr. Joseph Sowry, his successor in that office. Tribute in this way must also be paid to Mr. E. T. Rendle, Mr. Rowe Fennell and others. During the whole period of its existence the Church has been loyally and faithfully served in all its branches by a band of men and women devoted to the work of God.
