El 14 de febrero puede ser #SanValentin, pero para los socios de la @CaptCookSociety es el aniversario de la muerte del gran Capitán #JamesCook, asesinado en 1779 en la bahía de #Kealakekua en la #BigIsland de #Hawaii en un desafortunado encuentro con los hawaianos.

Enter the expanse of the Gulf of St. Lawrence after the voyage up the River and chart a course south then east to the #SaintPierre & #Miquelon archipelago, where French sovereignty still reigns in North America; here on a water stained 1763 chart by Bellin. #maps #HarvardLibrary
ALT Image of a nautical chart of the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon with relief shown pictorially and coastal depths shown by soundings. Also, with an ornate title cartouche in the lower center of the sheet. The damp stains indicate the chart was folded when the water damage occurred as the stain lines are mirror images extending each a third of the way out from the edges.

Headin' down south today with a French edition (ca. 1780) of Cook's southern hemisphere map. It shows his second voyage (1772-1775) and historic voyages as well.

2/7 We were founded in 1788 to hold the collections of books, manuscripts and biological specimens of Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish 18thc naturalist. For a while, at its beginnings, the Linnean Society was in Soho Square. #OpenHouse2020
