Description

The Wellington Provincial Centennial Memorial was a small building on Petone foreshore, built close to the spot where the original New Zealand Company settlers landed in 1840. The front of the building featured the bow of the Aurora, the first ship carrying the settlers, which arrived on 22 January 1840 – the day subsequently celebrated as Wellington Anniversary Day. Inside the entrance of the building were eight murals by the prominent Irish-born muralist, Jim Turkington.
