The excitement which was felt at the Hutt when a party of the 58th regiment took up their quarters in the fortress on the morning of 24 April 1845, will not soon be forgotten ... the settlers had just completed it on the evening of the previous day when an attack was expected from the natives... As Brees left New Zealand in 1845, his drawings for this engraving must have been completed in 1845 A related, but not identical watercolour is held by the Library (IRN 82218), showing the fort and bridge from a different angle, with a party of military.
