"The Pacific Ocean including Oceanica with several Divisions, Islands, Groups &c.", Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co.

Very finely engraved chart that shows all of the Pacific Ocean with a large inset of the Sandwich or Hawaiian Islands. There are numerous notes and a smaller inset that details 1800 miles of Antarctica coastline as explored by the U.S. Exploring expedition in 1840. Sea routes for Steamers are traced from San Francisco and Panama (through Hawaii) to Manila and Canton with the mileages noted. The map is colored to show the European possessions of the British, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese. Pale orange distinguishes those region controlled by native governments.
