1922 Remuera collision

26 March 2012
Remuera collision, 1922
Four postcards showing a collision involving the New Zealand Shipping Company's Remuera which occurred in 1922 are now on the HGK website. I wonder if they could have been taken by Henry Keyse?

The old Pitcairn Church

04 September 2006



It never ceases to amaze me that old Pitcairn postcards are still being discovered. I knew of the very rare "HGK" postcard of the two storey Pitcairn church (shown above, top, catalogued as K1-4) and didn't expect to find another card with a similar view. However, one was recently sold on eBay for the quite amazing sum of US$386.00. Have a look carefully in the dealers boxes at Postcard Fairs … you never know your luck!
