A Place to Rest, Norfolk Island

ABOUT THIS IMAGE

A Place to Rest, Kingston, Norfolk Island. A lighter boat rests near the shore line at Kingston as a memorial to their years of service in transporting goods to and from Norfolk’s shores. These boats are built by hand on Norfolk Island, and after years of ocean-going service they are given a sedate retirement and a place to rest among the buildings of Kingston’s Old Town. There the boats gracefully weather away and present an elegant and peaceful reminder of their place in Norfolk’s story.
