Pilgrim steams to Ferrymead

In this painting by renowned rail artist W. W. Stewart, the little British locomotive Pilgrim puffs along the 7-kilometre track to Ferrymead, a makeshift port on the Heathcote River. Huge public excitement is evident in the turnout of the brass band, and the flying of Union Jacks.
