Description

Watercolour copy by an unknown Dutch artist after the engraving by John Webber (1751-1793), published in Cook & King (1784, plate 68), 'A view of Karakakooa, in Owyhee' from the third voyage of Captain James Cook, shows Cook's ships the Resolution and the Endeavour, both flying the blue ensign, arriving in Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii, and four Hawaiian boats moving to meet them. Further canoes are dragged up on the shore at the right, and there are huts near the water's edge.
