Description
“Efaté [Éfaté] - Rev. D. McDonald and his people in front of old church at Havannah Harbour.” Portrait of Daniel MacDonald and a large group of Christian converts in front of a thatched church building. Daniel Macdonald, a Presbyterian Church of Victoria missionary to the New Hebrides [Vanuatu] from 1872 to 1905, published widely and at length on the languages of Efaté [Éfaté]. He settled in Havannah Harbour in the north-west of the island at the now abandoned village of Utaon. Havannah Harbour was the main port of call in the New Hebrides [Vanuatu] until the early 1880s, when it was displaced as the group’s European metropolis by the more recent French settlement at Vila Bay.
