Summary
| Description |
English: On 22 January 1840, the first of the New Zealand Company’s fleet of six immigrant ships, the Aurora, arrived in Pito-one (Petone), marking the founding of the settlement that would become known as Wellington. They had bet William Hobson to Aotearoa New Zealand by seven days; their efforts of self-government would become the cause of some concern to Hobson as he gathered signatures for te Tiriti o Waitangi.
This stamp was designed for the 1940 Centennial of New Zealand as a British Colony, and interperets the NZ Company settlers arriving at Pito-one. It was originally produced in colour, but this version comes from a series of Post & Telegraph Department negatives. This record is part of #Waitangi175, celebrating 175 years since the signing of of te Tiriti o Waitangi.
