People and stories from Wellington's early harbour
Vintage Good Condition - dust jacket scuffed/creased, corners slightly torn/chipped; text and illustrations clean and unmarked. Published 1984.
David McGill explores the people and experiences associated with Port Nicholson and the development of Wellington around its harbour. Historical accounts and illustrations bring early communities into view, connecting individual lives with the growth of a settlement, its waterfront and its institutions. The book's interest in people gives the wider history a human scale, showing how arrivals, enterprises, disputes and shared challenges contributed to the character of the place. Photographs and other visual records complement the narrative and help readers imagine streets and shorelines that have changed considerably. For those interested in Wellington's past, this illustrated history offers an accessible way to encounter the personalities and local stories behind the modern city.
