The first complete map of all coastal New Zealand. The chart was made during Cook's first voyage and shows the track of the Endeavour with dates and soundings. Although New Zealand had been discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642, it was Cook who discovered that it was not part of the great 'Terra Australis'. Arriving at Poverty Bay on October 7, 1769, Cook took six months to circumnavigate the islands. He sailed east of Banks Peninsula and mistook it for an island. Stewart Island is marked as a peninsula.
