This extensively illustrated "appreciation of Wellington Harbour" tells the history of the port of NZ's capital city from the days of the Maori canoe to the container age.

Complementing the text is a comprehensive illustrations selection of photos, art, drawings, charts and plans in colour and b/w. The title is taken from a phrase often used in weather forecasts for the Wellington area. 215 pages including bibliography, index, illustrations throughout, double title page photo spread, colour satellite mosaic e/papers.
