Reference: A-288-008

Description: A view from the junction of the Petone foreshore and the present Hutt Road, looking along the bush-clad Western side of Wellington Harbour, with a Maori canoe pulling away from the shore. Two bays along the shore, a large hillside slip is visible, almost certainly the slip caused by the 1855 Wellington earthquake While the first headland along the Hutt Road is shown as heavily bush-clad, the second shows a fresh slip. This matches another view by Gold showing landslips caused by Wellington's 1855 earthquake, and helps to date this work as almost certainly 1855 or shortly afterwards. It also provides a more precise location for the landslip shown in Gold's other watercolour of this earthquake damage (Land slip caused by earthquake near Wellington, Jan. 1855, reference number B-103-016). The slip was in the area behind the present petrol station on the Hutt Road, near Petone Other Titles - Wellington Harbour Inscriptions: Recto - bottom right - title in sepia ink, with Harbour spelled as harbor Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).
