Description: View from the water in the Bay of Islands, looking towards Okiato, the first site for the capital of New Zealand in 1840, five miles up the harbour from Kororareka. The fist Government House is shown on top of the hill, with other buildings and a jetty at the water's edge. The house was an eight-roomed cottage, and the lower buildings were James Clendon's store and trading post (the largest building), an office and boatbuilder's shop. The house was occupied by Governor Hobson and family only during part of 1840 and the site of the capital was then moved to Auckland. Okiato was renamed Russell in 1840, then later reverted to its original name. It is some eight kilometres up-harbour from modern Russell, the latter known in 1840 as Kororareka. The house was purchased from James Reddy Clendon. After the Hobsons moved to Auckland it was occupied by the local police magistrate until it was burned down in 1842.

Reference: C-025-020

Description: Shows G. F. Russell's house and timber yard at Kohukohu, Hokianga Harbour, with a ship and a barque, the Francis Spaight (nearer vessel) and the Bolina (on the left) loading kauri spars; and a row-boat hauling spars. On the hill behind is dense native forest. For many years, this watercolour was thought to show Horeke with Lieutenant Thomas McDonnell's house. However Maureen Lander's "Turnbull Library Record" article cited below proves that the image is of Kohukohu and of G. F. Russell's house. See Turnbull Library Record vol.22. no.1, May 1989, p.33-40 for an article by Maureen Lander establishing that this view is of Kohukohu and is accurate in its details. The view dates from a trip Heaphy made with other New Zealand Company employees in December 1839, looking for appropriate areas to establish cities. The New Zealand Company's vessel the "Tory", with the artist on board, was in the Hokianga Harbour between 2 and 16 December. See also the article by Brian Byrne in "Turnbull Library record" 1997, pages 73-76, identifying the "Francis Spaight" and the "Bolina", with evidence.
