The view looks from the land towards the Boulder Bank and Haulashore Island, and the Arrow or Fifeshire rock across Tasman Bay to the distant Moutere Hills. Five Maori stand or squat in the foreground. Trees frame the view on either side. Five ships are anchored in the harbour, which probably include the Will Watch,the Whitby and the Arrow.
