This page contains Chapters 6.
For other chapters return to the list via
Contents and the title in Section D or scroll down

A note about
illustrations of maps: The illustrations are provided as a guide only
- magnification is not always practicable with early maps that are often
faded or smudgy. Some of the images have been copied from small
photographs of large maps. However, in some examples enlargement in
sections has been possible and a note in the caption indicates this.
(Continued from Chapter 5.)

The following four charts are included as insets in a paste-on continuation of the chart, “A chart of part of New South Wales, Van Diemens Land, New Zealand.” This chart which bears the legend “London, published as the Act Directs, July 1st. 1828 by J.W. Norie & Co. at the Navigation Warehouse and Naval Academy, No. 157, Leadenhall,”
was issued in, John William Norie, The Complete East India Pilot ... 8th ed. (London: J.W. Norie, 1838).

Remarks
on Map Nor 1. This plan of the Bay of Islands was modelled on Cook’s work published by Strahan & Cadell (see the entry, Map Str 6b in Chapter 2), with the addition of information obtained from missionary
sources. The anchorage symbol relates to the
Endeavour’s visit in 1769.“London,
published as the Act Directs, July 1st. 1828
by J.W. Norie & Co. at the Navigation Warehouse and Naval Academy, No. 157, Leadenhall,”
was issued in, John William Norie, The Complete East India Pilot ... 8th ed. (London: J.W. Norie, 1838).

Map Nor 3 “Part of the S.W. side of the Frith
Of The Thames, In New Zealand, Surveyed by Captain J. Herd.”
Remarks
on Map Nor 3. The data in this chart are derived from the original
survey of Waitemata Harbour, carried out by John Rodolphus Kent, in command
of the Prince Regent in 1820. Herd's contribution was unlikely to have been
more than delivery of the manuscript to Norie, the London chart publisher.
Kent also carried out the pioneer traverse
of Rangitoto Channel by a
European navigator. |
