A clear bilingual chart of Cook's voyage through the Great Barrier Reef, from Cape York to Cape Tribulation. Titles, keys to symbols used and mileage scale are given in both French and German. North is oriented to the right of the page. Rocks visible at low tide, hypothetical coastline, and notes on damage and repairs to the ship are shown, giving an excellent narrative feel to the chart.
