caption_attribution_description: English: Port Nelson with Arrow Rock. Shows a view looking into an inlet, with Arrow Rock on the right. There is a large house high on the cliff at the left, a jetty in the left foreground, a small rowboat in the centre foreground, and a red buoy at the right. The description on the backing board of the clifftop house as Mr Hoggard's is incorrect, as is the attribution to Heaphy. Both depended upon Wellington being the location of the scene depicted.
context_page_description: Arrow Rock is a small island in Tasman Bay, off the coast of Nelson, New Zealand. There is a narrow channel between the rock and Haulashore Island. Situated within Nelson Harbour, Arrow Rock was site of the Fifeshire wreck in 1842, which gave the rock is secondary name. There are a number of spotted shags who live on the rock.
  The rock is named after the first ship to sail into Nelson harbour, the Arrow. She was a 212-ton brig chartered by the New Zealand Company and used as store ship on the companies expedition to set up a settlement in Tasman Bay. She sailed into Nelson harbour on 2 November 1841 and was followed the next day by the surveyors barques Whitby and Will Watch.
