Description

Shows the paddle steamer Luna in a bay in Milford Sound, with a hanging valley in the background. The snow-capped mountain beyond the hanging valley formed by Harrison's Cove, is Mount Pembroke.

Michael Fitzgerald of the National Museum (later Te Papa) identified the paddle steamer as the Luna, on which Heaphy went to Milford Sound in 1874. Heaphy's journey was on Land Court business with the Burton Brothers, photographers, whose photographs from this trip are in Te Papa
