Description: On 15 August 1920 the auxiliary (with an engine as well as sails) schooner "Jubilee" left Auckland for Niue. She never arrived. By late October/early November the Government steamer "Hinemoa" had searched the Kermadeck Islands for her without success. HMS "Veronica" made enquiries at Niue on her way to Suva. On November 12 the Minister for Marine announced in Parliament that the Government steam ship "Tutanekai" would be used in a search for the"Jubilee". The "Tutanekai" left Auckland early in the morning of November 23. She called into Whangarei later on the same day to pick up bunker coal and left in the evening. She carried a party of men and women who were all probably relatives or friends of the crew and passengers of the "Jubilee". Two were mentioned in the NZ Herald of 23 Nov. as Mr E B Vaile (brother in law of one of the passengers, Mr Head), and Mr M Champion (son of the "jubilee's" Captain). From Whangarei they sailed for the Minerva Reef and Tonga. From Tonga they went to Niue and returned to Auckland via the Kermadeck Islands. There is no indication from the album that they found or discovered what had happened to the "Jubilee". Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).

Date: 1924-ca1980

By: Searle, Roland James, 1904-1984

Reference: PAColl-0639

Description: Most of the black and white photographs date from the late 1920s to ca 1950. Of these there are quite a large number of early prints from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. Most of these have not been "pictorialised" in the soft focus style Searle used for his later finished work. They are small snapshot sized and sharp and clear in detail. The general range of their subject matter sums up Searle's range of interests, photographically speaking, throughout his life. This general subject range is as follows - Railways, family friends and weddings (women and children predominate), Wellington city, Ships, Wellington Botanic Garden, Wellington Zoo (mainly animal studies), ANZAC Days, Some sports, aircraft, some other New Zealand towns, military training Second World War, some overseas trips of which those to New Caledonia during the Second World War and later were the most significant, and landscape studies. This last category makes up the largest group of photographs in the collection, especially in the later "pictorial" prints. Though the majority are unlabeled, most have at least one with identification written on the back - though to find these would require looking through some thousands of prints. Most of the pictorialised photographs have been printed on a pale creamy - brown paper which gives them an antique and arty appearence. Most have been manipulated to soften the focus, at times creating a painterly effect or the effect of some lithographs of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. A few have been treated to look like pencil drawings. Though most are landscapes there are also a fair number of architectural shots and flower studies, and some Māori subjects and portraits. Landscapes are predominantly attempts to emulate the sublime and classical/romantic traditions. Mountains and glaciers, humanised landscapes, with or without sheep, reminiscent of the creations of the 18th century English landscape designers, are most common. A fair number of the latter have been taken in some of our larger public parks and gardens. Humans very seldom feature in them. There are several essays of the Pinnacles at Palliser Bay. Many of the same images have been used over and over again. Arrangement: Negatives housed at 1/4-096421 to 096718 and 098069 to 099110; 1/2-178222 to 178231 Quantity: 7320 b&w original photographic print(s). 5 album(s). 214 b&w original negative(s) of which 204 are 35mm strips comprising 632 images. 162 colour original photographic print(s). 3100 colour original transparency/ies. 33 colour photo-mechanical print(s).
