Coal being discharged from a transport ship onto trucks at the Miramar wharf. From here it would have been driven a short distance to the Miramar gas works where it would have been 'gasified' for Wellington's reticulated gas network. Coal gas continued to be produced at Miramar until c. 1970 when the plant was decommission and the network was switched over to natural gas.
