- Description
A Maori man poling a canoe laden with newly-caught fish, another small canoe in the background and a European sailing vessel, a gannet diving and another seabird swimming close to the first canoe. The man has facial moko, is wearing a tiki around his neck and a flax skirt. The scene is probably at the north end of Evans Bay on the Roseneath side with Miramar Peninsula, the entrance to the Harbour and the Orongorongo Range in the background.
Gold's depiction of the outlines of hills is not always very accurate.
