Wanted - your views on a memorial to the Rainbow Warrior bombing.
Tomorrow will mark 30 years since the bombing and the Ports of Auckland is seeking views from people on a proposal to erect a memorial to commemorate the event.
The proposed memorial will be on Quay St, opposite Marsden wharf where the Rainbow Warrior was bombed.
Ports of Auckland CEO Tony Gibson said The Rainbow Warrior is a piece of New Zealand's history and the port's history.
"We believe it's important to have a fitting memorial that remembers the day the Rainbow Warrior was bombed. We're putting forward a memorial design and seeking feedback from the people of Auckland."
"We believe it is important that we establish a memorial for such a significant event in Auckland and the port's history," Gibson said.
The plan also has the support of Greenpeace and Rainbow Warrior skipper, Pete Willcox.
"It would be nice to have something physical here at the Marsden wharf site to remind people walking by that this is where it was. It will be a very fitting remembrance of where the boat was bombed," Willcox said.
The memorial consists of a seat facing north and incorporates the bollard the Warrior's bow line was moored to when she was sunk and includes a description of events laser cut into a steel sheet.
The memorial will provide a place of reflection and a physical marker of the site of the sinking.
