Description:
Very rare chart of the Barbara Channel by Captain Phillip Parker King dated 1829 on the map but published March 15th, 1852.
The chart records King’s survey of the Barbara Channel which connects Magellan Strait with the Pacific Ocean. The Hydrographic office reissued this chart as chart no. 1306, with title at top, Plans in Barbara Channel and added another chart to the left of new chart from around 1899.
We have not been able locate another example of this Hydrographic chart in any institutional collection.
King had been promoted to commander in July 1821, and in April 1823 returned to England. He subsequently commanded the survey vessel HMS Adventure in company with HMS Beagle, spending five years surveying the complex coasts around the Strait of Magellan (1826–1830), at the southern tip of South America. His eldest son, named Philip Gidley King, accompanied his father and continued as a midshipman on HMS Beagle (1832–1836) on the continuing survey of Patagonia under Robert Fitzroy, in the company was Charles Darwin (1809–1882).
Phillip Parker King (1791 - 1856)
Phillip Parker King (1791–1856) King was a naval officer, hydrographer and company manager, son of Philip Gidley King. Phillip sailed for England with his parents in October 1796 in the Britannia. When his father left England in November 1799 to become governor of New South Wales, his sister Maria was left in the care of Mrs Samuel Enderby, and Phillip was placed under the tuition of Rev. S. Burford in Essex. In 1802 he was nominated to the Portsmouth Naval Academy. In November 1807 he entered the navy in the Diana and became a midshipman serving for six years in the North Sea, the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean, being promoted master's mate in 1810 and lieutenant in February 1814.
