Description:

A 1970 handout of the
newly founded Civic Trust noted of Akaroa that although tourism was becoming
“increasingly important”, “the main industry is fishing.” At the time around 40 trawlers
and line-fishing and crayfishing boats were still using the main wharf. In 1973, Peninsula
Fisheries were planning to extend the refrigeration plant on the wharf
