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.
