This is a sketch of Commercial Bay from the North Shore side of the harbour. On the left is Point Britomart, crowned by St. Paul's Church. The infant town lay in the bight of the bay. Mount Eden can be seen in the background. On the right-hand side of the bay is Smale's Point, but it is much out of drawing, Still the picture is valuable, as it shows what an amazing change has come over the waterfront in the last seventy years or so. The date of the sketch would be about 1847.
