Mantell, Walter Baldock Durrant 1820-1895 :Ruamoa. Wed. 29 Dec. 1852.
- Date
- 1852
- Reference
- E-332-064
- Description
Three men, possibly two pakeha and a Maori man (on the right, smoking a pipe) seated beside flax kits, probably at the end of a meal. A tattered flag is stuck in the ground to their right. A tent, a raupo hut with a blanket drying or airing over its roof, and a drying rack are in front of them and they are looking out towards a wide bay, with hills to the south..
The name Ruamoa is no longer in current use, but appears to be at the mouth of the Awamoa River. Mantell and his party appear to be in a bay between Kakanui and Moeraki, probably All Day Bay, just south of Kakanui, since Orere is mentioned as one of the distant hills to the south of the point at which this drawing was made.
