The Voyages of Captain James Cook

This collection brings together original antique maps, charts and prints connected to the voyages of Captain James Cook, whose expeditions in the late 18th century profoundly reshaped European knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and the southern hemisphere. Cook’s surveys set new standards for accuracy in maritime cartography and remain foundational to the mapping of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands.

Included are charts and related printed material depicting key regions explored during Cook’s three voyages, including the eastern coastline of Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii and extensive areas of the Pacific Ocean. These works were often produced for navigation, scientific study and publication, combining practical precision with engraved craftsmanship.

Maps and prints associated with Cook’s voyages are highly sought after for their historical importance, connection to exploration and lasting influence on cartography. They offer insight into the intersection of navigation, science and empire at a pivotal moment in global history.
