Description

Shows the palisade of a pa on a clifftop, with figures scaling the cliff by means of ladders coming up from the water level.

One of a series of such sketches, the remainder in Auckland Museum (one signed: C. Heaphy), originals for lithographs (held at B-043-015: Ellis 633-636).

Waimate Pa was near the mouth of the Patea River, Taranaki. See also Heaphy's 'View on the Patea River, Cooks Straits, 1839' (A-146-004). Heaphy visited Waimate Pa in September 1840 in the company of Robert Park and Robert Stokes. He passed Taranaki on board the Tory in 1839, without landing, and may have dated this view retrospectively
