- Description
View along the shoreline looking east, towards Parnell, with the military buildings the skyline above the cliff. Sail boats in the harbour, and a wharf in the right foreground with a yacht, crewed by several men. Other men and a woman with two children are on the wharf.
This watercolour is copied from one by Hamley's superior officer, E. A. Williams: either 'Fort Britomart, Auckland, 3 August 1864' in the Hocken Library, p. 35 in the now dismantled Williams' sketchbook, with minor changes in some details, especially the lettering on the sail of the yacht; or the Turnbull's watercolour 'Fort Britomart from Queen Street Wharf August 64' (E-510-010/011), which varies the figures on the wharf and does not include lettering on the yacht's sail.
