Rare engraving from the French edition of the accounts of Cook’s first voyage, published (1774) the year after the English edition (1773).
The title in the English version was:
[A View of the Island of Ulietea, with a double canoe and a boathouse.]
A double canoe (pahi) with carved figures on bow and stern. Another double canoe in the background at right and a boathouse at left.
‘There are a great number of boathouses all round the bays built with a Catanarian arch, thatched all over; and the boats kept in them are very long, bellying out on the sides, with a very high peak stern, and are used only at particular seasons’. Parkinson 74.
