| Bass Strait
'Bass Strait' by Lieutenant James Grant (mapmaker), copper-line engraving, 1806. German edition of the map by Lieutenant James Grant. James Grant(1772-1833)was a naval officer who in 1800 was appointed to command the Lady Nelson, thanks to his friendship with Captain John Schanck and to the influence of Sir Joseph Banks. The Lady Nelson, of only 60 tons burden, was designed by Schanck for survey work in shallow waters, and was one of the first sea-going vessels built in England on the centre-board, or what was then known as the sliding-keel, system. Grant left Portsmouth on 17 March 1800 and reached the Cape on 8 July. There, while following Philip Gidley King's advice to wait for the summer, he received further orders from the Duke of Portland 'to search for the Strait which separates Van Diemen's Land from New Holland' and if possible to make his passage through it. He did this successfully, but owing to his shortage of water and provisions he could not make a close examination of the coastline. He then went to Sydney and from there King sent Grant to the Hunter River to investigate the possibilities of settlement and the extent of the coal deposits reported by John Shortland in 1797. Grant left Sydney on 9 November 1801 and arrived in England in April 1802, and next year published 'Narrative of a Voyage of Discovery' … an account of his explorations. Folds as issued. Size: 175mm by 275mm (platemark)
