Shows a view of a corner of Lake Wanaka, with a small paddle steamer approaching from the left towards a jetty at the right. The steamer flies a flag from both its mast and stern, and around one dozen gentlemen and lady passengers stand aboard. The smoke from the single funnel floats back to the left and the boat's wake extends past the picture's left edge.

Four gulls fly in the right foreground.
