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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'View of Auckland Harbour, New Zealand' from the Illustrated London News in 1862, showcases a breathtaking scene of Auckland Harbour during the Maori war-canoe race. The photograph, based on a drawing by Major Stack, captures the tranquility of the harbor with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. Two British steamships, the Miranda and Fawn, are anchored in the harbor, having been summoned from Taranaki following the cessation of hostilities. To the left lies the suburb of Parnell, home to the last two churches of Bishops Selwyn and Pompellier. Further towards the right, Mechanics Bay and Official Bay can be seen, backed by Government House, the Scotch Church, and other public buildings. Subjacent to the image is Wynyard Pier, with Britomart Point, Battery, and St. Paul's Church visible to the right. The commercial part of the city can be seen in the central background, featuring factories and stores. The Queen-street wharf and pier, a useful structure about three-quarters of a mile in length, can be seen extending into the harbor. Mount Eden, an extinct volcano about a thousand feet in height, is visible in the central background, towering over the town and located about two miles away. This image offers a glimpse into the history and beauty of Auckland Harbour during a significant moment in New Zealand's past.
