Victoria Wharf

Auckland 0627, New Zealand

Created By: Auckland Council

Information

Trams began their journey from the foot of Victoria Wharf. They were scheduled synchronously with the Devonport Steam Ferry Company’s timetable, although neither company was known for its punctuality. A planned combination ticket office and waiting room at the foot of the wharf was never built, so tickets were sold directly on tramcars by the conductors. An “excellent” horse led each car, which moved no faster than 10 miles per hour (16 kph).

Walk up Victoria Road and then turn right up King Edward Parade.
