Feature shown on: NZTopo50-BA36 571316; Instead of "Ohena Island" (1939 Hon p. 22); 'Correctly, Orohena, a Polynesian name transferred to New Zealand; he was the son of Tangaroa, god of fishes and the ocean. According to tradition, the island is the dorsal fin of the fish of Maui, and indeed with its lone peak protruding 103 m above sea level, the island resembles an erect dorsal fin.'
