Description: View from Governor's Bay looking back towards Lyttelton, with various features marked, including Mount Pleasant, H. M. S. Fly in the harbour, the Custom house, Major Hornby's Hotel [Major Hornbrook's hotel, the Mitre Inn] , the Emigration Barracks, a public cook house, the store and the temporary office of the Union Bank, John Robert Godley's house and garden, the Land Office, the Police Office and the Town Hall, Market Place, Jail and Hospital, the [Canterbury] Association Store House, the Esplanade, settlers' huts, the church, parsonage and school house. Several people including an artist are seated on rocks to the left, by an arched rock. The others are a woman with a baby and another woman with two small children. The reversing of the artist's initials and the naivety of the drawing may indicate that this is a contemporary copy by another hand of the original Cridland sketch located at C-014-002-1. It does, however, have more features indicated in writing than the C-014-002-1 version. Other Titles - Lyttelton. The boat labelled 'FLY' is not an accurate depiction of the HMS Fly. See A-292-070 or C-033-003 for more accurate depictions.
