Description: | Terrestrial pocket globe. The location of the 'Antipodes of London' are marked and in America there are labels for 'NEW ALBION' and 'UNITED STATES'. Mackenzie's explorations in Canada (1789) are recorded and the south coast of Australia is dotted. Tasmania is peninsular and Cook's death is recorded, 'Owyhee where Cook was killed 1779'. Cook's three voyages are also extensively documented. The track of Constantine Phipps's voyage to the north, with young Horatio Nelson on board, though of course not mentioned, is labelled, 'Phipps 1773'.
