The event won't be the first major regatta on the harbour, as Haydn Rawstron explains. ix months after the First Four Canterbury Association ships arrived at Lyttelton, the steadily ‘growing settlement held its first sporting event, a regatta in the hatbour.it marked Guesn Victoria's 52nd birthday, Saturcay, 24 May 1851. Charlotte Godley described the Colebrations at length in a letter home to hher mother in Wales: the day was actually ‘too lovely, not a breath of wind all dey, 0 that the sailing boots never started Instead, the Regatta [sic] consisted solely of boat aces’ The first match was for Tive-oared whale boats, four of which were Maori boats: ‘and-oarsmen. ‘Only one white crew pulled ‘against them’ and it was easily beaten. The ‘MBor! accomplished the feat in remarkably short time and came in very fresh, and in ‘reat delight’ Charlotte continues: The Victoria won, belonging to a chief, whe did nat go in her, but walked up and down, telling people he ‘was just lke Mr. Godley, and only looked on. Her effervescent account of the various races and events reveals that MBit {and Pakeh8 were both participants and spectators in the overall entertainment, a day of mutual celebration in games, feasting, and dancing. She summed up, ‘in short it was very successful, and everyone ‘thoroughly tired next day’,no one probably ‘mora so than her litte son, Arthur.

The movingly all-inclusive, communal celebration of regatta day’ in 1851, perhaps offers inspiration for Lyttelton throughout the rest of this year.
