Russell, Bay of Islands, 1880
Scope and Contents
191 x 143 mm. A view looking down on to the town, with houses built right down to the beach. A steamer is moored to a jetty in the harbour. The original town of Russell (named after Lord John Russell, Secretary of State for the Colonies) was destroyed by fire in 1842 and never rebuilt, and the use of the name Russell here applies to Kororareka, an older nearby settlement and port.
