A copy of a wood engraving 'Emigrants at dinner' published in the Illustrated London news, 13 April 1844, p. 229. The 'Emigrants at dinner' in the Illustrated London news were heading for Sydney, not for Wellington. The republication in 1890 of this wood engraving has altered the details. The conditions were likely to be very similar, but this view is not of the Aurora.
