- Description
Shows the tents of Te Papa military camp to the right and the buildings of Tauranga in the distance on the right. The church-like building with a spire on the right was the Church Missionary Society's Mission Institute, taken over as a commissariat by the troops. A low cliff drops to the water and there are several small boats in the harbour. The view is from the west side of Tauranga Harbour.
The Mission Institute was erected in 1860 as a training school to teach Maori agricultural skills. After being used as a commissariat during the war, it was used as a hospital.
