Overview
This box of chocolates is interesting because Aulsebrooks has used a particularly significant moment in Canterbury history for the packaging.
The 'First Four Ships' refers to the Randolph, the Cressy, the Sir George Seymour and the Charlotte Jane which brought the first organised group of migrants to the Canterbury Association's new settlement in 1850.
