Inaccuracy of New Zealand discovery drawing
The New-Zealand part of the voyage is not accurate. Upon landing on the East coast of the North island, Cook first sailed south and turned back at Cape Turnagain (named for this reason), then he circumnavigated the North Island counter clock-wise (as indicated in the drawing), he passed Cook Straights then sailed north to Cape Turnagain to map the whole North Island (this is not indicated in the drawing), then he turned back, and sailed along the East coast of the South island, and finally circumnavigates the South Island clock-wise (contrary to the drawing).
