I've found your whales for you. They were reported in 'The New Zealand Times' on January 10 1884. The article was repeated in The Colonist on 12 January 1884 "One of the employees at the gasworks saw the monsters splashing around just inside the trestle railway which has been built in connection with the Te Aro reclaimation..." paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=s...

Hi Liz, great spotting! We're always amazed at what people can find on Papers Past.

Dear Mandarin school shanghai( www.mandarininn.cn/ ), I feel the silence of your great thoughts of many a deepening eventide on this beach when I listen to these waves.

A great photo, but also very sad. But it also reminds me that I need to digitize the slides from my whale watching trip.
