Otago Harbour


	On Thursday, March 29, 2001 I took a cruise up Otago Harbour - out to Taiaroa Head, aboard the Motor Vessel Monarch. This particular tour lasted just over 4 hours. For the most part we traced the route the Deep Freeze picket ships took to sea. These photos were taken on the outbound voyage, starting from Wharf & Fryatt Street, near where the picket ships docked.

Port Chalmers wharves, I'm told the dry-dock is gone.
