The top map is a fascimile of the chart of New Zealand leg of Abel Tasman's voyage, 1642-1643, reproduced from a copy of the journal of the voyages held at the General State Archives in Hague. The bottom map then compares Tasman's route plotted relative to New Zealand's coastline as it is known today. The map translates the original into English, plots the charted path and adds the dates at given points along the journey. It includes some quotes from Tasman's diary as well as some of the events. The route interpretation along the western shoreline has been researched and compiled by Mr Grahame Anderson. The names on the original chart have been translated and shown on this map in italic script to enable natural features to be compared with those on the chart. Some additional features named subsequent to Tasman's voyage are shown in smaller text to aid identification of the coastline.

Reference: MS-2119

Description: Manuscript of the first translation from Dutch into English (made for Sir Joseph Banks) of Tasman's journal from Batavia in 1642-1643, by C G Woide. Woide includes an introduction to Joseph Banks on the nature of his transcription. There is also a small lexicon of some of the Dutch words used by Tasman. The journal begins on the 14th August 1462 as Tasman and his crew set sail from Batavia aboard the `Heemskerck' and the `Zeehaen'. The vessels travelled south via Mauritius and Tasmania. The entry for 13 Dec 1642 describes their first sighting of New Zealand. From New Zealand Tasman continued on to Tonga and Fiji, then returning to Java. Volume also includes a tipped in letter from the British Museum to the Alexander Turnbull Library (1960) regarding the provenance of the volume and how it had been originally owned by Sir Joseph Banks. Another facsimile copy of this journal by Woide is held by the British Library (MS 8947). Charles G Woide was commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks to translate Tasman's original journal from the Dutch language. A note by Sir Clements Robert Markham in the prefix of the volume indicates Woide hoped to be paid £30 for the transcription work. Markham also advises he will let Edward Stanhope (politician and owner of Bank's property estate) of the removal of the volume from Banks' personal library. Woide was an orientalist, biblical scholar and Assistant Librarian in the British Museum from 1782 until his death in 1790. Quantity: 1 volume(s) (338 pages).
