Summary
[edit]DescriptionSt. Martin's Cove near Cape Horn.jpg |
English: J Clark, after Lieut. E. N. Kendall R.N. Taken from: Narrative Of A Voyage To The Southern Atlantic Ocean, In The Years 1828, 29, 30, Performed In H.M. Sloop Chanticleer, Under The Command Of The Late Captain Henry Foster, F.R.S. &C. Webster was the surgeon for this British expedition, which was sent to the southern waters off South America and Cape Horn to record pendulum observations and to chart Staten Island and the South Shetlands. Other scientific observations covering the fields of magnetism, navigation, currents, meteorology, geology, and oceanography were also made on behalf of the Royal Society. At the end of the voyage the captain, Foster, who had been astronomer to Sir William Edward Parry on his third voyage, was drowned in a canoe accident in Panama. The Chanticleer stopped at Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Patagonia, Staten Island, the South Shetland Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and other South American ports. The maps are "Track of H.M.S. Chanticleer," which charts the Atlantic travels of the expedition, and "The Isthmus of Darien between Porto Velo, Chagres, & Panama.," which shows proposed Isthmian railroad routes. The fine uncolored aquatint plates show ports and locations off Cape Horn and in the Atlantic, including St. Martin's Cove, Pendulum Cove (Deception Island), and Ascension. SABIN 102429. ABBEY 11.
