# Whairepo Lagoon

Whairepo Lagoon is an open public area at the centre of Wellington, New Zealand. It is a small man-made lagoon filled with sea water and connected to Wellington Harbour through a narrow channel. A split-level footbridge over the mouth of the lagoon was designed by Eastbridge. The lagoon is surrounded by The Boat Shed, City-to-Sea bridge, and the Wellington Rowing, Star Boating Club, and Te Raukura buildings. Tanya Ashken's Albatross fountain sits on the north side of the lagoon between it and Frank Kitts Park.
On 17 December 2015 the lagoon was officially named Whairepo Lagoon, as it previously had no official name. The lagoon was previously referred to as Frank Kitts Lagoon, Frank Kitts Park Lagoon or simply The Lagoon. 'Whairepo' is the Māori name for the Eagle ray which can sometimes be seen in the lagoon.
From December 2023 to April 2024 a statue of Marvel's Mjölnir, the hammer of Thor, was placed next to the lagoon for a Marvel exhibition.

# Wabash class P1

The Wabash Railroad's class P-1 comprised seven 4-6-4 steam locomotives rebuilt from 5 Class K-5 2-8-2's numbered 2600-2604 and 2 Class K-4 2-8-2's numbered 2743 and 2744 .
The first five were constructed in 1943 and 1944 using the boilers from their unsuccessful K-5 class three-cylinder 2-8-2 locomotives that had been built by the American Locomotive Company's Schenectady works in 1925.
Two additional locomotives were converted in 1946 and 1947 using a pair of K-4 class 2-8-2s as donors at the Decatur Shops in Illinois .
The engines were semi-streamlined with long "elephant ear" smoke deflectors, and painted blue with a broad white stripe trimmed in red down the side of the locomotive and on the steam dome; the tenders received a similar paint job. The locomotives’ number was painted on the tender, and in later years the flag logo was applied to the deflectors. They ran until 1956.

## Models

Scale models exist of the P-1s, most notably in O gauge by MTH and Lionel. An HO (1:87) version was available in brass from Hallmark Models.

# Domingo Laporte

Domingo Laporte (October 19, 1855 – 1928) was a Uruguayan painter and engraver who gained international recognition and became the first director of the National Museum of Fine Arts.

## Biography

The son of Juanna Saparrat and Hipólito Laporte, he was educated in France and Italy. His teacher was the painter Giovanni Fattori, whose stepdaughter he married. He taught at the Arts and Trades School between 1879 and 1883. In 1889, the school sent him to Italy to recruit teachers for the institution, and at the same time, he was responsible for overseeing all students sent to study in Italy. He returned from Italy in 1896 and, in addition to his work as a painter, he devoted himself to teaching painting and drawing.
At the end of 1911, the National Museum of Fine Arts (now called the National Museum of Visual Arts) was established, and Laporte was appointed as its director. He held the position until his death in 1928 and was succeeded by Ernesto Laroche.

## Works

Among his most famous works are "An Arab," "Courtyard of the Palazzo della Signoria," "The Prayer of an Arab," "The Miser," "Autumn Twilight – Venice, Seen from the Lido," "Heavy Reading," "Against the Grain," "Flattering Contemplation," "The Musketeer," "The Ciociaro," "Palazzo Labia – Venice," "The Lagoon at Dawn – Venice," and "The Grand Canal, Seen from the Accademia Bridge – Venice." The latter work earned him an honorable mention at the 1889 Paris Exposition.
He primarily focused on portraiture, although he was also involved in other genres such as landscape and marine painting. The National Museum of Visual Arts houses a collection of engravings using the etching technique, which was introduced to Uruguay by Laporte. This collection includes "Portrait of Giovanni Fattori," "Pines in the Apennines," "Livorno Countryside," "Small Shipyard," "Montevideo Bay," and "Etruscan Theater."
His works are primarily found in the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum, the Ernesto Laroche Museum, and in private galleries and collections in Uruguay. The National Historical Museum also holds his oil paintings "Portrait of Don Juan Lindolfo Cuestas" (1899) and "Portrait of Don José Batlle y Ordóñez" (1903).
In 1997, the National Postal Administration issued a stamp featuring his work "Autumn Twilight – Venice".
