Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
On 28 November 1520, Magellan sailed through the straits that would bear his name into the great expansive waters he dubbed ‘Mar Pacifico’. His venture opened up the exploration of the southern seas, a vast tract of water with numerous islands dotted about, most uncharted. Politically and commercially-driven expeditions then began that put shape to continents and the (re-) discovery of these islands. Notable first explorers included Mendaña de Neira, Sir Francis Drake, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret; the latter two discovering Tahiti and Pitcairn respectively.
Scientific expeditions began with Bougainville and Cook, each aided by the improvements in navigational equipment, and with institutional backing that employed a full contingent of artists, draughtsmen and botanists to help record and collect.
Cook travelled hundreds of miles throughout the Pacific in the course of his three voyages. By the time of his death in 1779, the map of the Pacific was practically as it is now. It is no wonder that La Pérouse (1785) once said: ‘Cook had left me nothing but to admire.’
Other voyages of exploration then followed, including those commanded by Malaspina (1789), d’Entrecasteaux (1791), Kotzebue (1815-18; 1825-26), Freycinet (1817-20), Dumont d’Urville, and the later United States Exploring Expedition.
The exhibition ‘Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876’ features books and maps found in the Hocken Collections, the Science Library and Special Collections, University of Otago. Although the exhibition is by necessity selective, three goals are paramount: to highlight through their publications the brave endeavours of these explorers; to reveal the steady charting of the Pacific; and to remind everyone that these resources do exist, and can be viewed, touched, read, and enjoyed.

A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, in His Majesty's Ship, the Endeavour
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘On the 22d of July, 1768, I went on board the ship, Endeavour, then lying in the Galleons Reach…’. So begins Sydney Parkinson’s journal of the first expedition under the command of Captain Cook, the prime object being to study the Transit of Venus from the island of Tahiti. Engaged as natural history draughtsman by Joseph Banks, Parkinson made numerous botanical, portrait and landscape drawings. He also compiled a valuable list of South Sea vocabularies. On leaving Batavia and heading towards the Cape of Good Hope, Parkinson died. Parkinson’s brother, Stanfield, saw the work through the presses: this is a large paper copy of the edition. Here is Parkinson’s ‘priest of Yoolee-Etea’ (Rai’atea) on display.
