The Aldermen Islands
The Aldermen Islands are a small group of rocky islets to the southeast of Mercury Bay in the North Island of New Zealand. They are located off the coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, east of the mouth of the Tairua River.
The islands were named 'the Court of Aldermen' by Captain Cook and his crew on November 3, 1769 after previously naming Mayor Island.〔Cook, J., Wharton, Sir W. J. L.

J. L. Warton.
