About Mary Dillon

"Tauranga trader Peter Dillon was living at Maungatapu Pā by 1835, in a raupō whare ‘repurposed’ from Te Papa Mission Station. At a height of six feet, four inches (193 cm), the brawny redheaded Catholic Irish sea captain claimed to know the South Seas better than any other European of his time. In 1827 he solved the disappearance of French navigator and explorer Lapérouse, along with two French frigates, somewhere in the Pacific in 1788. Said to be witty and clever, he was also motivated by self-aggrandisement and said to have a volatile and sometimes violent nature."
