ABOUT
A comprehensive and beautifully compiled regional history documenting the 150-year evolution of Canterbury's historic port town from its 1850s settler beginnings into a major Victorian seaport.
Chronicles major local infrastructure developments, including the pioneering 1867 volcanic railway tunnel—the world's first to be cut directly through an extinct volcano rim. Highlights Lyttelton’s critical strategic role as the final departure and supply point for historic British Antarctic expeditions, including those of Captain Robert Falcon Scott.
It deeply explores the local communities of seafarers, watersiders, and railway workers who built the port.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and plates.
