H.M.S. “Driver,” the First Steamship in New Zealand Waters

This drawing is the first picture of H.M.S. “Driver” yet published in New Zealand. It is drawn from a sketch by Captain M. T. Clayton, of Auckland, who was in Wellington in July, 1846, as an apprentice in the barque “London,” and is also based on a blue-print of the hull-details received from the Secretary to the Admiralty.
