Description

View along the shoreline looking west, with St Paul's against the skyline, and the military buildings to the right above the cliff. Sail boats in the harbour, a steamship moored on the far left and a Maori canoe in the foreground, with a man carrying a load (possibly fish) on his shoulder.

This watercolour is copied from one by Hamley's superior officer, E. A. Williams: 'Auckland, New Zealand, 3 August 1864' (Reference number B-032-021). The colour of St Paul's in Williams' original is cream, as opposed to Hamley's terracotta; also Hamley has changed the disposition of a few foreground figures
