View of Auckland Harbour, New Zealand...the race of the Maori war-canoes, 1862. Creator: Unknown
View of Auckland Harbour, New Zealand, from a drawing by Major Stack, taken during the regatta of January, 1862: the race of the Maori war-canoes, 1862. Her Majesty's steam-ships Miranda (to the left) and Fawn (to the right) are at anchor, having been ordered up from Taranaki by Commodore Seymour after the cessation of hostilities. To the left of the Engraving is seen the suburb Parnell, with the last two churches of the rival Bishops Selwyn and Pompellier; further towards the right is Mechanics Bay and Official Bay, backed by the public domain, Government House, Scotch Church, House of Representatives, and other public buildings. Subjacent is the Wynyard Pier; further to the right is Britomart Point, Battery, and St. Paul's Church. Thence, to the right, is the commercial part of the city, with the steam-biscuit and other factories or stores, whence shipments to vessels of small and large tonnage are made by means of the Queen-street wharf and pier: the latter is a most useful structure, about three-quarters of a mile in length. In the central background is visible the extinct volcano called Mount Eden, which is about a thousand feet in height, and distant from the town two miles'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
