About

The history of Te-Whanganui-a-Tara, Port Nicholson, Poneke or Wellington Harbour.

The story moves from whaling to frozen meat; from coal to the conflicts of 1890, 1913 and 1951; from sub division at Eastbourne and Miramar to townhouses at Te Aro; from the flock of small coasters in the Cook Strait trade to the conveyor belt of the Interisland Line; from the days when the Harbour Board ruled the port to the return of the city to the water's edge. It races the development of Wellington as a port, placing its trade in context as part of New Zealand's maritime history.

Well illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
