Young Nick - bronze figure of Nicholas Young, unveiled in 1969 by Governor-General Sir Arthur Porritt at Churchill Park on Waikanae Beach, Gisborne as part of the Cook Bicentenary Celebrations, which commemorated the first sighting of New Zealand on James Cook's voyage in 1769. The statue was gifted by the New Zealand Insurance Company. In 1988 the statue was moved to the mouth of the Tūranganui River, and is now positioned so that Young Nick points to Young Nick's Head across the bay.
