Botany Bay, Batavia and the Bounty Rocks: a First Fleet map
The world map from Cook’s third voyage, in the accurate Dublin-printed piracy of 1784, carried aboard HMS Supply with the First Fleet in May 1787. A boldly marked and accurate series of voyage tracks have been added in manuscript, recording the voyage in detail, including the voyage out to Botany Bay, the circumnavigation of 1790 during the ship’s mercy run to Batavia for supplies (the voyage on which Newton Fowell hitched his last fateful ride), as well as their long voyage home to England in April 1792.
