fishing boats of Island Bay, Wellington


The place we stayed at for the Napier Art Deco weekend had a large print of this Rita Angus painting Boats, Island Bay from 1968 on the wall.  There is a bit of variation in the reproduced colours, but we think this version is close to the original, held by Te Papa.  For an extended chapter on the fishermen and the fishing boats of Island Bay, see the book Nets, Lines and Pots, volume one
