A view taken from about where the Opera House now is (at the time the site was used for tram barns)
The Royal Mail Ship
Monterey was built by the Matson line and her
maiden voyage was on 3 June 1932. She and the
Mariposa inaugurated a new South Pacific service from San Francisco to Hawaii, New
Zealand and Australia. After her years with Matson Line she continued
in service for a variety of owners before sinking off South Africa in
2000 while under tow to ship breakers.
