documentary heritage
  • Description

    Text inserted inside the front cover of the album reads: "The voyage, of which the accompanying photographs form a partial record, was undertaken in April-June 1903, for the purpose of giving Members of the New Zealand Legislature an opportunity of seeing the Cook and other Islands, which were annexed to the colony in June, 1901.

    In all, fifteen islands were visited, eight of them being within the extended boundaries of New Zealand, and the remaining seven belonging to one or other of the adjacent groups-viz., Society Islands, Samoa, Tonga or Friendly Islands, and Fiji. The total distance travelled was 8,015 miles, and the time occupied , seven weeks. A detailed report on the visit will be found in Parliamentary Paper, 1903, A.-3B."
