Summary
Motuihe Island
Quarantine stations played an important role in the containment of infectious diseases, and numerous vessels were detained at the Motuihe. The cemetery contains many graves relating to the influenza epidemic in 1918. The Motuihe headland also played a significant role in both world wars, first as a POW camp, and later as New Zealand's primary naval training base.
One of eight Heritage Assessments by Andy Dodd about historic heritage sites in the Auckland Region.
