I think Port Cooper should be redirected to Lyttelton Harbour / Whakaraupō article because Lyttelton Harbour is the current name of this feature. Port Cooper was renamed Port Victoria when it was declared a Port of Entry on 9 August 1849. See New Zealand Spectator and Cook's Strait Guardian, Volume V, Issue 420, 11 August 1849, Page 4 Advertisements Column 2. The status of Lyttelton as a Town was declared as commencing on 1 July 1850 in a proclamation issued on 29 May 1850. See Wellington Independent, Volume VI, Issue 484, 1 June 1850, Page 2 Advertisements Column 1. The name "Port Cooper" continues to be used after these two notices when talking about produce from farms on both Banks Peninsula and the "Port Cooper" Plains. This produce had been advertised and sold under this Port name before the Canterbury settlement has been established. This implies Port Cooper is a water place name, rather than a land place name. So should link to the appropriate water article. - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 00:55, 17 January 2021 (UTC) reply
