Description:
Very rare British Hydrographic Admiralty map of Staten Island, of present day Isla de los Estados, Argentina, dated on the map below the title, 1828, published 8th September, 1840.
Isla de los Estados is an Argentine island that lies 29 kilometres off the eastern extremity of Tierra del Fuego, from which it is separated by the Le Maire Strait.
The first Europeans to encounter the island were the Spanish naval captain Francisco de Hoces and his crew in 1526. His ship, the San Lesmes, was part of the Spanish Loaísa expedition to the Pacific Ocean. The ship found the island after it had become separated from the rest of the fleet in a storm.
Edward Nicholas Kendall (1800 - 1845)
British marine surveyor whose naval career commenced as a midshipman on board HMS Mutine. During his service on HMS Erne, which wrecked in 1819 on the Isle of Sal, Cape Verde, he sustained injuries. He often served as a surveyor on various ships, participating in surveys of locations such as Orkney, Shetland, the coast of Ireland, and the North Sea. In 1824, he volunteered for William Edward Parry's third expedition to search for the Northwest Passage and worked as an assistant surveyor under George Francis Lyon aboard HMS Griper. From 1825 to 1827, Kendall served on the Mackenzie River expedition, this time under John Franklin, where he explored the Mackenzie River Delta as an assistant surveyor alongside the naturalist John Richardson. During this expedition, he became the first known European to sight Wollaston Land, which was actually a peninsula. Kendall travelled from Fort Franklin to York Factory during this time, and in 1827, he was commissioned as a lieutenant. In the following year, at the recommendation of the Royal Geographical Society, Kendall joined HMS Chanticleer during its scientific voyage. He assisted in pendulum experiments and conducted research, including surveys in the South Shetland Islands region of the Antarctic. In 1830, he transferred to HMS Hecla to survey the West African coast, returning to England later in the year. Subsequently, he was employed by the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies for the Colonial Office to carry out a secret and confidential survey of the boundary line between British and American states in New Brunswick. After conducting additional surveys in New Brunswick, he compiled a map of the area in 1831. Despite requests for promotion, Kendall remained a lieutenant. About two years later, Kendall became associated with the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Land Company, serving as its commissioner in Fredericton. He returned to Britain by 1838 and, during his later years, worked as the superintendent of the West India Mail Steam Navigation Company and later as the superintendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Company in Southampton.
