- Description
Shows the three-masted yacht, surrounded by about ten waka, several with triangular sails, and all with complete complements of rowers. There is a headland in the background.
Almost identical to engraving entitled: "New Zealand War expedition", published in Church Missionary Quarterly papers, no. LXXVII, Lady Day, 1835; from an original drawing by Samuel Williams: "Expedition on its way to Tauranga in 1833". As Samuel Williams, son of Rev Henry Williams, was only 11 in 1833, it seems more likely that the English engraver Samuel Williams (1788-1853) is the artist or copyist of a drawing by another hand, possibly that of Henry Williams
