A yacht with furled sails is stationed in the centre of the bay, and there are two logs floating in the right foreground. In the left middle distance, and collection of logs enclosed by a boom is floating near a headland on which a large house is situated. The artist's logo or symbol (a vase, a money bag or an inverted scallop shell with a blue shadow to its right) is at lower right. In 2010 the Library bought four works out of an offered group of 14 by this artist who uses a distinctive logo. Apart from the purchased four, the rest showed scenes of Kawau, native forest, a swamp at Waitoa (Waikato), an iron sand beach on the West Coast (North Island). Attribution: the Auckland artist Charles Palmer used a scallop shell as his logo, but in a different form from this one, shown upright and with a staff behind it. It is possible that this group of watercolours is the work of Charles Palmer, but not certain Other Titles - 1 August 1886 Cowrie Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
