Description
A very decorative map of the southern Pacific, showing the region from New Guinea to the Society Islands, marking the tracks of the explorers Carteret, Wallis, Byron and Cook.
In particular, Cook's route along the east coast of Australia, and round New Zealand is shown. An indistinct coastline, not explored by Cook, links Australia to Tasmania.
The discoveries made by Captain Cook, 1768-71 includes the first circumnavigation of New Zealand and the mapping of the eastern coast of Australia.
