Description
Akaroa, on the Banks Peninsula of the South Island of New Zealand, has an historic wharf called Daly’s Wharf. On an early morning walk, the shadows from the railing created appealing lines along the wharf. The wharf appears to have been built between 1863 and 1865. Daly’s Wharf was extensively refurbished in 1913 and re-opened in 1914. After the 1913-14 rebuilding, the wharf had a shed with a mono-pitch roof at its end. Exactly when the present shed at the wharf’s end (seen as the frame for the photo), with its attractive conical roof, replaced the earlier shed is uncertain. Though it was never the town’s main wharf, it continued in use through the 20th century by coastal ships and fishing boats and, more recently, by tourist boat services.
