It focuses on the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, and includes insets of Owhynee and Karakakooa Bay, the Big Island of Hawaii where Capt. James Cook was killed in 1779 on his 3rd voyage to the Pacific; and Otaheite and Matavia Bay (Tahiti). Includes nice detail along the eastern coasts of Australia and New Guinea.
