Swan's Arch

Auckland Region, New Zealand · built 1909

Henry Charles Swan (c. 1856 – 1931) was an English lawyer and New Zealand settler. In 1901 or 1902, he left for a supposed solo yacht trip around the world but instead ended up sailing up a tidal tributary of Te Wai-o-Pareira / Henderson Creek, on New Zealand's North Island, where he lived inside his yacht for at least 25 years until his death. He built Swan's Arch, which became a Category 2 listed structure.
