Haulashore Island Sunrise
Nelson Haven, New Zealand
Haulashore Island, just offshore from Nelson's busy Rocks Road, has not always been an island, once being the western end
of the famous Boulder Bank.
In 1906 a channel was blasted through the boulder bank to make safer route for shipping to enter Nelson's Harbour.
The island gained its name because, in early colonial days, small-medium sized boats were hauled up onto the sheltered shore
of the island for cleaning and repairs.
