Description: Volume comprised of two separate works - a journal account and a photographic documentation. The first is a written account on 207 pages by the Ordinary Seaman Frederick Dack describing his naval experiences aboard the HMS 'Orlando' and the HMS 'Dart' in 1890-1891. The account commences on 1 January 1890 when Dack, who joined the crew of the HMS 'Orlando' at Sydney after travelling from England on the Orient Line's 'Iberia' the previous year, describes both life on board and on shore at Sydney. Departing from Sydney on 6 January, the account goes on to describe the sighting of Stewart Island and entering Milford Sound on 11 January, arrival at Port Chalmers on 12 January and at Akaroa the following day. The voyage continues to Lyttelton Harbour on 16 January, Wellington Harbour 21 January, White Island on 25 January and Auckland the following day. Preparation and participation in the Auckland Anniversary Regatta is described. The expedition departs from Auckland on 18 February and after calling at Russell in the Bay of Island, heads for Tasmania, arriving at Hobart on 25 February, and from there to Melbourne via Bass Strait on 15 March. Dack served on the HMS 'Orlando' until 8 May 1890 when he joined the crew of the survey ship HMS 'Dart' and left Australia for the Pacific on 22 May 1890. The journal then gives an account of visits to a number of Pacific Islands and closes with a final entry dated 3 January 1891 after the ship has returned to Sydney. The second, commencing backwards from the lower boards of the volume is a photographic work created by the hydrographic surveyor Lieutenant Boyle Somerville aboard the HMS 'Dart'. Photographs depict shipboard life aboard the HMS 'Dart' as well as capturing views and scenes from the lives of the local peoples of Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga, Norfolk Island, and other Pacific Islands. Also includes a portrait of Victor Doucere and four portraits of unidentified Māori women. Source of title - Supplied by Library Quantity: 1 volume(s). 0.03 Linear Metres.
