_The Evening Post_, 30 Nov 1923:
FATAL ACCIDENT
CITY MILKMAN KILLED ON
WHARF.
As the result of a collision between a milk-lorry and a motor-tractor on the Queen’s Wharf, where the Nelson ferry steamer berths, shortly after 11 o’clock this morning, an employee of the Municipal Milk Department named Andrew Craig, a married man, residing in Taranaki street, was killed practically instantaneously. Craig was in the habit of serving the various ships in port and the Harbour Board with milk, and he was about to drive his lorry off the wharf, when the vehicle was struck by a motor-tractor. The impact was a heavy one, and the horses attached to the lorry reared up. As a result Craig was thrown heavily to the wharf, striking his head. He was picked up and taken to the Harbour Board bond store, but he expired almost immediately, before medical assistance could be obtained.
Craig was a married man, 50 years of age, and leaves a widow and family. He was a well-known figure on the waterfront.

_The Evening Post_, 14 July 1923:
PIPITEA WHARF
PRACTICALLY COMPLETED
MONOLITH OF CONCRETE AND STEEL.
The last touches are being put to the huge reinforced concrete structure of the Pipitea Wharf. All is now complete except the fendering for the end of the wharf; the sides have been finished for some time.… the vast shed … will naturally take some considerable time yet, and it will not be [ready] until next year …
