| Description: |
'Present- day ferry service of Whangape on a long reachof the harbour. The buildings in background are boarding house and store room at convenience of travellers' G. Bourne. Paula Lunjevich is related to the men in the photograph. She identifies it thus: 'The people in the photograph are (left to right) Anaru Ngawaka, Ihu Ngawaka and Pomare Ngawaka (three generations). This is not a ferry crossing. They are transporting horses across the Whangape harbour to the cemetery and church on the other side (Hautopoki?). Apparently Anaru Ngawaka was an Anglican Bishop and Ihu Ngawaka was a healer.' |
