Atlas with binder's ticket of "J. Tuck, Bookbinder" "One of the most important [voyages] ever made in the interests of geographical knowledge." - Hill This work, considered by Cowan to be "superior to any of its kind," documents Vancouver's voyage, which resulted in the first published map to depict Hawaii in its entirety. [Fitzpatrick] Vancouver had been put in command of the expedition related in this work on the recommendation of his old commanding officer Alan Gardner. He had served earlier with both Admiral Rodney and on James Cook's second and third voyages, so he was well experienced in addition to being a first-class navigator. Vancouver's voyage was mounted as a "grand-scale expedition to reclaim Britain's rights, resulting from the Nootka Convention, at Nootka Sound, to thoroughly examine the coast south of 60º in order to find a possible passage to the Atlantic; and to learn what establishments had been founded by other powers. Vancouver sailed by way of the Cape of Good Hope to Australia, where he discovered King George's Sound and Cape Hood, then to New Zealand, Hawaii, and the northwest coast of America. In three seasons' work Vancouver surveyed the coast of California; visited San Francisco and San Diego; and other Spanish settlements in Alta California; settled the necessary formalities with the Spanish at Nootka; investigated the Strait of Juan de Fuca; discovered the Strait of Georgia; circumnavigated Vancouver Island; and disproved the existence of any passage between the Pacific and Hudson Bay."
