Story: Ngāpuhi
This lithograph, from an original sketch by Augustus Earle, was published in 1838. However the sketch would have been drawn when the Beagle, captained by Robert FitzRoy and carrying among its passengers Earle and the famous naturalist Charles Darwin, visited the Bay of Islands in 1835. The scene shows the settlement of Kororāreka, which became a major centre of trade between Ngāpuhi and the European sailors and whalers who visited there in the 1830s.
