Just as there has been a marked variation in the type of shipping visiting the Port of Wellington during the past sixty years, so the facilities provided by the Harbour Board have improved during the period. At top and bottom, on left, are views of the Queen's Wharf in the early days of steam, and top right is a view of Evans Bay, showing the site of the slipway, marked X. The centre picture shows a section of the wharves as they are to-day, when harbour ferries, inter-Island express, and overseas vessels of heavy tonnage regularly occupy them. The Makura is seen in the Jubilee floating dock (on left), while other views show, the Hikitia (floating crane), the tug Toia, cool storage power house, wool dumping, handling coal and fruit, the oil wharf at Miramar, and some of the other facilities provided by the Harbour Board.
