Harrison Cove

This trip was one of my day trips in Milford Sound to discover Harrison Cove where I spend the whole day on the beach to observe the wild live and find the remains of the former sealing station. Harrison Cove used to be one of the most busiest sealing station in New Zealand Harrison. Fure seal fat has been modified and was used to lighten streets in UK Cove, and the fure was used in the fashion industry, fure seal have one of the densest fure in the world and keep extreme warm. Harrison Cove  is named after Captain John Harrison which invented the first ship chronometer, he build his first longcase clock 1713 with the age of 20.

I refer to an article I found, John Harrison and the longitude problem – national museum to read the whole story about one of our greatest sailor and inventor in sailing.
