- Description:
- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled – Mitre Peak and Crayfishing Boats. Mitre Peak is a mountain in the South Island of New Zealand, located on the shore of Milford Sound. The mountain was named by Captain John Lord Stokes of HMS Acheron, who found its shape reminiscent of the mitre headwear of Christian bishops. In New Zealand the term "crayfish" or "cray" generally refers to a saltwater spiny lobster, of the genus Jesus that is indigenous to much of southern Oceania. Text on reverse: Mitre Peak and Crayfishing Boats. Mitford Sound, Southland, New Zealand. Card number MS1466
