Item Details
Description
Engraved nautical map from the 1774 first French edition of the first map of New Zealand, illustrating Lieutenant James Cook's 1769 exploration of the passage between New Zealand's North and South islands. While Abel Tasman had charted parts of New Zealand in 1642, no European prior to Cook sailed through this passage on his second voyage of discovery (1772 - 1775). In particular, the chart details Queen Charlotte Sound (Totaranui) with depth soundings, rocks, and Endeavor's anchorage. Topography and vegetation are shown pictorially. Size: 35 cm x 34 cm.
