"On the remote wild west coast of Fiordland there is a little cluster of Spanish names, the only ones on the map of New Zealand. At a glance they would seem quite out of place but in "Doubtfull Harbour" Dr John Hall-Jones tell us how this came about. How two Spanish corvettes under the command of Captain Alessandro Malaspina arrived off the entrance to Doubtful Sound on 25 February 1793. And how Don Felipe Bauza sailed into the sound in an "armed boat", naming several features and taking observations for the first map of Doubtful Sound. The original accounts of the Spaniards are traced back to Museo Naval in Madrid and translated into English ...
