Description

Two sailing ships (the Anna Watson and the Platina) in Auckland Harbour and a small boat with five people in the foreground. Planks of building timber, another rowboat on the foreshore and groups of tents on the higher ground to the left and on the skyline above cliffs. A red flag (the Red Ensign?) flying on a point at the top of the cliffs. The tent closest to the shore belonged to Captain Rough.
