NEW PLYMOUTH HARBOUR— TWO VIEWS. (Page 5.)
We hero givo two views of tho Harbour at Moturoa as it is at present. The first picture is taken from the end of tlie breakwater, and the other one from tho shore. They were both taken the same day by Mr W. A. Collis, the photographer, and show the class of vessels which can visit our port and lay alongside the wharf to loa-1 and unload. The larger vessel of the two is the Union Company's steamer Wakatipu, 1797 tons, taking in cargo on her way to Sydney ; the other vessel is the Northern Company's steamer Gairloch, 340 tons, which trades regularly between Taranaki and Manukau. The Petroleum Works have started since the pictures were taken, but tho derricks, where the boring operations are being carried on, are on tho opposite side of tho road, facing the cattle yard to be seen to tho lot of the second picture.
