However Chevalier was not on the 1869 voyage and the style of the work does not appear to be his. There is no known record of a visit by the Galatea to the Bay of Islands. The ship left Auckland and proceeded to Tahiti. It may have called at the Bay of Islands en route. Inscriptions: No inscriptions on the work itself.
