The remains of a waka (canoe) were found in October 2014 at Papanui Inlet on the Otago Peninsula of the South Island of New Zealand; the remains were hence called the Papanui waka. The waka has been dated to the mid- to late 15th century and is the second oldest in New Zealand, after the Anaweka waka.
