The memorial was unveiled in September 1930.Originally known by its M\u0101ori name, Kaitawharo (\u2018to eat jellyfish\u2019), the point in Wellington Harbour was renamed after the Commissioner of Native Reserves, Edmond Halswell, who arrived in New Zealand in 1841. In 1886, following fears about Russia\u2019s presence in the Pacific that had grown since the Crimean War, an 8-inch gun emplacement was constructed on the site. The gun pit was later repurposed to form part of the tomb of Massey and his wife Christina.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_right\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_2 icon_atleft\" title=\"See more 360 Panos\" href=\"https:\/\/pano.nz\/panos\/\"><i class=\"fad fa-head-vr\"><\/i><span class=\"w-btn-label\">More Panos<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_right\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_2 icon_atleft\" title=\"See on Google Maps\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/PtrcC22tX5XC32J2A\"><i class=\"far fa-google\"><\/i><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Google Maps<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_border align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Massey Memorial at Point Halswell, Wellington, commemorates William Ferguson Massey, prime minister of New Zealand from 1912 until his death in 1925.
