The map's purpose was to show the track of the La Perouse expedition's ships and the soundings. The complex route of the ships is delineated with each day noted along the route after setting sail from Manila (Manilla) to Kamchatka. La Perouse's course into the Sea of Japan and further north (not on this map) resulted in the first accurate charting of the region by Europeans. La Perouse's expedition was one of the most important scientific explorations of the Pacific. This uncommon map is the British issue was engraved by Neele and published by G.G. & J. Robinson.
