Good detail of numerous land views as seen from Cook's ships. Includes views from sea of Mt. Elias, Prince William Sound, Nootka Sound, Mt. Edgecumbe, Kaye's Island, and Table Hill. The Prince Williams Sound view is the largest and most detailed and is more of a birds-eye view where the others are accurate renderings as seen from deck.
