The present example has some inexplicable coloring in in the vicinity of Great Slave Lake (Arathapescow Lake), which looks like possible aborted attempt to update the map, but no other examples exh…ibit these changes. Size 15.5 x 26.5 Inches. This is the suppressed 1784 first edition of Henry Roberts and Captain James Cook's legendary 'Lost Map', issued separately by London publisher William Faden. This is the first map to illustrate the discoveries of Samuel Herne on the Coppermine River. The chart was censured due to the political machinations of the powerful Hudson Bay Company, which had a sustained interest in keeping Herne's voyage secret as it disproved the notion that an inland water route might connect the Hudson Bay with the Pacific, thus threatening the HBC's stock value. A Closer Look Centered loosely on the Bearing Strait, coverage embraces from the Seat of Okotsk in Siberia to Hudson Bay. The map provides a detailed view of both charted and uncharted territories along the North Pacific coasts of Asia and North America, tracking Cook's voyages from 1778 - 1779. The chart was drawn by Henry Roberts, chief cartographic officer on Cook's Third Voyage. Roberts initially created the chart for the official atlas accompanying the published narrative of Cook's final expedition ( A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean. , London, 1784). Due to economic pressure, political suppression, and editorial disagreements, Robert's chart was excluded from that publication. Nonetheless, the plate was acquired by William Faden and published independently - as here. Samuel Herne Content Roberts' version of the map is significantly more comprehensive than the one published in the official atlas. Besides Cook's discoveries, this chart is significant as the first printed map to feature Samuel Hearne's (1745 - 1792) expedition to the Coppermine River in the Canadian Arctic. Hearne, the first European to reach the Arctic Ocean overland through Canada (1770 - 1772), documented the coastline and named the Coppermine River. While his maps and journal were not published until 1795, this map reflects information derived from a circa 1772 manuscript held by the Hudson's Bay Company. Herne, accompanied by a group of Chipewyan guides led by Matonabbee and 8 of his wives, who were used as 'beasts of burden,' traveled overland from Hudson Bay near Fort Prince of Wales (Churchill, Manitoba) to Great Slave Lake, then north along the Coppermine River to the Arctic Ocean. The expedition proved conclusively that no inland water route connected the Hudson Bay to the Pacific, an idea long promulgated by the Hudson Bay Company to pump their stock price. Cook's Third and Final Voyage Cook's Third Voyage focused on locating the Northwest Passage. Cook commanded the Resolution and was accompanied by Charles Clerke on the Discovery . The expedition left Plymouth in July 1776, rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and called at Tasmania and New Zealand before heading into the central Pacific. In 1777, the ships visited Tonga and Tahiti before sailing north, encountering the Hawaiian Islands for the first time in January 1778. During the summer of 1778, the crew charted the American Northwest Coast, stopping at Nootka and Prince William Sounds, and exploring Cook Inlet. After a failed attempt at finding a western entrance to the hoped-for Northwest Passage, the ships moved west, passed the Aleutians, and reached the Asian coastline. They returned to Hawai'i in January 1779. Initially welcomed at Kealakekua Bay, the crew was later met with hostility after they returned due to a damaged mast. During a dispute over a stolen boat, Cook and 4 marines were killed, along with 16 Hawaiians. Clerke assumed command and secured Cook's remains for burial at sea. He then continued north, reading the Bering Strait before being turned back by ice floes. Clerke himself died in Kamchatka in Au.
