Picton Smart & Connected Postal Address Picton Smart & Connected Postal Address: c/o PO Box 610, Picton Email: [email protected] Long Term Plan Submission 2018-2028 From: Picton Smart & Connected To: The Marlborough District Council 25/04/2020 – Annual Plan Supplement Re: Marlborough Sounds Heritage & Environment Centre, Picton This submission is being forwarded by the Picton Smart & Connected, Heritage Working Group. Following discussions between the Picton Smart & Connected Arts & Heritage Working group, the Picton community and representatives of the Marlborough Heritage Trust, we (PS&C) would like to offer our support for the development and building of a Marlborough Sounds Heritage & Environment Centre in Picton. Understanding a community’s historic, cultural, environmental, and social context is essential for celebrating and developing a ‘sense of place’ for both locals and visitors and economically, heritage tourism is now internationally recognised, as a significant attractor for sustainable tourism growth. We believe that a Marlborough Sounds Heritage and Environment Centre, would offer an invaluable resource in both regards. We understand that the Marlborough Heritage Trust which governs the Edwin Fox Museum and Ship are fully supportive of such a development on and around the existing Edwin Fox Museum site. It is the opinion of the Picton Smart and Connected Heritage Work Group, that the building should be located on the waterfront with the existing Edwin Fox Ship at its centre. We would propose a two storied building to reduce its footprint, traditionally built using wood, steel and natural materials and we support the building of a structure that mirrors the design principles and maritime feel, of the new Picton library. We believe that the existing Edwin Fox Museum building, side entrance way and associated waterside land, could provide sufficient land area to accommodate this project. Omaka Aviation centre is a fine example of how a heritage-based platform that showcases Marlborough’s history, can greatly increase visitation to Marlborough, while at the same time grow regional pride in provincial heritage. We (PS&C) believe that a ‘Marlborough Sounds Heritage & Environment Centre’ with the Edwin Fox at its centre, would enable Marlborough to showcase its rich and diverse voyaging and maritime history, marine ecology and cultural strengths under one roof. The Edwin Fox Ship The Edwin Fox, (a World Ship Trust-awarded ship, an award shared by the Mary Rose, The Victory, and the Cutty Sark), deserves to be housed in a more modern, environmentally sound and structurally safe space, suitable to preserve and showcase an internationally important and valuable maritime asset. Marketing the Sounds Marlborough’s tourism (GDP) against other industries is low and modest growth has been realised in recent years in this sector. At Picton Smart & Connected we believe that Marlborough should safe proof its future by developing diversity and strength in all of its industries and we believe that sustainable tourism is one sector that Marlborough needs to develop and strengthen, as a safe guard, should other industries, not maintain current growth patterns. Designed Future Proofing We (PS&C) also believe that as Picton is further industrialised through Port expansion, it will become more important to offer a designed path for visitors including cruise ship passengers, to experience the Marlborough Sounds through local operator offerings and informative platforms, such as this concept. Now more than ever a Marlborough Sounds Heritage and environment centre as part of Marlborough’s tourism offering is essential to showcasing the Marlborough Sounds, its heritage, and its environment. In short, if we want to truly showcase the Marlborough Sounds as a high yield domestic tourism attractor and attract increased international tourists, when they can again come to New Zealand, we need resources such as this to increase the natural value in tourism terms. In addition to this, Tourism New Zealand will now be looking at more sustainable tourism for New Zealand with higher levels of environmental consideration, so the ability to guide visitors to an iconic New Zealand landscape (Marlborough Sounds) via a facility such as this, as a designed introduction, will be a critical tool in the products marketing and physical delivery. It also goes without saying that increased tourism can and often does mean, increased environmental pressure, so a centre educating visitors before they interact with the environment, will be vital to the environmental future of the Marlborough Sounds in tourism terms and will raise the value of the product, through a designed environmental aspect and brand. The centre will increase awareness & sensitivity to the landscape’s needs in environmental terms, change attitudes, teach skills, and increase the desire to participate in the guardianship of the Sounds, as an iconic New Zealand environment. It is also our belief that visitors will stay longer if they feel connected to the environment in this way. In recent years Destination Marlborough has increased its marketing of the Marlborough Sounds and we believe that Marlborough now needs a ‘presentation platform’ to showcase the Marlborough Sounds story under one roof. We believe that a Marlborough Sounds Heritage & Environment Centre, would assist Destination Marlborough to effectively promote the Marlborough Sounds and that it would provide information and support opportunities to explore locations that can be physically visited, using local operator offerings e.g. Perano Whaling Station, Ship Cove, Kaipupu Point and various other sites. Effectively turning the Marlborough Sounds into an internationally important, heritage and ecological landscape. Potential to include: • Maori Culture / Voyaging exhibit • Captain Cook / Tuia 250 exhibit • Picton Heritage and Whaling Museum • Maritime History Archive • Eco (Kaipupu, Envirohub, D.O.C, Dawn Chorus etc) • Multi-Functional Exhibition / Conference Space Possible Concept / Visual: Marlborough Sounds Heritage and Eco Centre – next to Edwin Fox Dry Dock. Concept showing potential use of land / space. Conclusion We believe that this centre of excellence would be regionally, nationally, and internationally important, in both heritage and environmental terms. We believe that it would greatly improve the ability to tell authentic and important stories of Marlborough’s past, present and future in both historical and ecological terms. We believe that this centre will fit well with Tourism New Zealand’s plans to increase environmental value in New Zealand’s tourism offering and place Marlborough at the forefront of sustainable tourism in Aotearoa.

  • Passenger Lists in Newspapers, on Microfilm, and Some Other Sources Held at Christchurch City Libraries
    January 2013 A guide to some of the 19th century passenger lists in newspapers, on microfilm, and some other sources held at Christchurch City Libraries Port Lyttelton, showing the first four ships and emigrants landing from the Cressy, December 28th 1850. Page 1 of 63 January 2013 The First Four Ships arrived December 1850. The ships arriving between December 1850-1853 were Canterbury Association vessels. The ships arriving between 1853-1855 came independently and not under the auspices of a government or quasi-government body. The Lyttelton Times was published from January 1851; The Press was published from 1861. At first both were published twice weekly meaning passenger lists appear in a shipping column a few days after a vessel arrives. 1850-1855 paying passengers are usually listed. Assisted passengers are not listed by name, appearing only as “and 27 in the steerage”. From 1855-1870 the Canterbury Provincial Government was in charge of immigration to Canterbury and had an emigration agent stationed in London. To help find employment for migrants, the government supplied lists of assisted migrants to the newspapers. The names of male heads of families, their home county in Britain (or their country in Europe), if they had a spouse and the number of children they brought, are published. The first names of a wife and children are not given. Children of immigrants who were older than about 12 were considered adults and are listed among the single men and women along with other single people. Sometimes the assisted people are grouped according to their occupations so that prospective employers might quickly select prospective employees.

She is best known for her detailed inte- rior scenes, communicated with rich colors and exquisite lighting. Harriet Backer was one of four daugh- ters born to Nils and Sophie Backer. They resided in Holmestrand, Vestfold, Norway. Her father Nils was a ship merchant, and her mother had come from a wealthy family. Their status in life enabled the girls to have a cultured upbringing, an education with fo- cus in music and the arts. Each of the sisters was gifted. Harriet’s younger sister Agathe (Backer Grøndahl), became a well known concert pianist, and is considered Norway’s greatest female composer. The eldest sister Inga was educated as a singer in Berlin, but she only shared her talent with the family, and not professionally. Her youngest sister Margrethe was a painter. She also was the Senior Matron at the Royal Palace, and in addition to her work, she had eight children, which allowed little time to pursue an artistic career.
