Local Matters - History - Fascinated by the fleet

History - Fascinated by the fleetBy: Lyn Johnston
In August 1925, the American Battle Fleet visited Australia and New Zealand, marking the alliance between America and the British Empire. Albertland photographer Harold Marsh was enthusiastic about all things military, having been a lieutenant in the Rodney Mounted Rifles. The fleet visit was not to be missed, so he packed up his bulky glass plate camera and caught the train to Auckland.

On August 11, Harold went to Emily Place hoping to find a suitable vantage point for taking photos of the fleet’s arrival.

The diary states that on February 25, 1865, Wharehine cricketers played a match (probably the first) against Port Albert and won, no doubt much to their satisfaction. On Good Friday, April 14, they played the return match and won again. The team spent that spring preparing for their second season, even putting in two days’ practice during Christmas week.
