Inscription inside backcover: "Originally a section plan of the town of Wellington. It has been used by Henry Chapman father of Justice H.S. Chapman for a totally different purpose, namely to build up a map sufficient to the globe to lay down the voyage of the Bangalore in which H.S. Chapman and his wife and son sailed from London to Auckland New Zealand in the ship Bangalore in 1843. It is practiclly impossible to preserve the original map while this purpose is kept in mind; but it is here. The charted voyage goes in fact only as far as Sydney NSW and for this record it is kept. The ship however continued to Auckland."
