has abstract	Cape Terawhiti is the southwesternmost point of the North Island of New Zealand. The cape is located 16 kilometres to the west of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. , located on the northern tip of Cape Terawhiti and, along with Perano Head on Arapaoa Island in the Marlborough Sounds, marks the narrowest part of Cook Strait. It is also the closest point in the North Island to the South Island, with West Head, at the mouth of the Tory Channel being only 28 kilometres away (this point in the South Island lies to the northwest of Cape Terawhiti). Cape Terawhiti, from which historic Terawhiti Station gets its name, came into being through a misconception of Captain Cook’s Tahitian interpreter, Tupaea. When, in 1769, Cook asked what the land in the east was, the local Maori replied simply, 'the east'. In fact Te Ra-whiti (The Rising Sun) is the general Maori term for the East Coast of the North Island. Omere is said to be the original name of Cape Terawhiti. At the southern end of Cape Terawhiti is , the termination point for the inter-island Cook Strait power cable. The proper name for the bay is . The Maria, on its way from Lyttelton Harbour to Wellington, foundered at Cape Terawhiti on 23 July 1851, with the loss of 26 lives and 2 survivors. One of those drowned was the early Canterbury settler William Deans. Gold was found near Cape Terawhiti in 1862 and was mined for several years. (en) El cabo Terawhiti es el punto más suroccidental de la Isla del Norte de Nueva Zelanda. El cabo está situado a 16 kilómetros al oeste de Wellington, la capital de Nueva Zelanda. La punta Ohau, situada en el extremo norte del cabo Terawhiti y, junto con en la isla de Arapaoa, en los Marlborough Sounds, marca la parte más estrecha del estrecho de Cook. También es el punto más cercano de la Isla Norte a la Isla Sur, ya que , en la desembocadura del Canal Tory, está a sólo 28 kilómetros (este punto de la Isla Sur se encuentra al noroeste del cabo Terawhiti). El cabo Terawhiti, del que toma su nombre la histórica estación de Terawhiti, surgió por un error del intérprete tahitiano del capitán Cook, Tupaea. Cuando, en 1769, Cook le preguntó cuál era la tierra del este, el maorí local respondió simplemente: "el este". De hecho, Te Ra-whiti (El Sol Naciente) es el término general maorí para referirse a la costa oriental de la Isla Norte. Se dice que Omere es el nombre original del cabo Terawhiti. En el extremo sur del cabo Terawhiti se encuentra la bahía de Oteranga, punto de terminación del cable eléctrico del estrecho de Cook entre las islas. El nombre propio de la bahía es Oterongo. El 23 de julio de 1851, el barco Maria, que se dirigía del puerto de Lyttelton a Wellington, naufragó en el cabo Terawhiti, con la pérdida de 26 vidas y 2 supervivientes. Uno de los ahogados fue el primer colono de Canterbury, William Deans. En 1862 se encontró oro cerca del cabo Terawhiti, que se explotó durante varios años. (es)
