Synopsis:
Some stories are buried. Others are waiting.
The Boyd's Strongbox
In 1809, the Boyd entered Whangaroa Harbour and never left.
What followed would become one of the most recorded and most misunderstood encounters in New Zealand's early history. Told through fragments of official reports, oral traditions, and the silence between them. This story moves beyond the event itself and into what may have been lost, buried, or deliberately left behind.
Generations later, the past does not rest quietly. Clues remain scattered across land, water, and memory. In places where history is certain, and in places where it begins to fade.
From the steep volcanic ridges of Whangaroa to the shifting narratives carried across the Tasman, The Boyd's Strongbox follows a path between truth and interpretation.
Not everything was recorded.
Not everything was explained.
And some things were never meant to be found.
As past and present begin to converge, one question rises from the stone and water of Whangaroa:
Who is meant to hold the key,
and what will they unlock when they do?
