        Charting the Peaceful Sea: Maps of the Pacific, 1642 - 1846 is now on display at the Dunedin Public Library's Reed Gallery.  Twenty-one maps, ranging from a facsimile of Abel Tasman's seventeenth-century map of 'Staten Land' (the first to show part of New Zealand's coastline) to nineteenth-century charts of the Antarctic ice barrier, are included in the exhibit.  Nine maps by Captain Cook are also available for viewing.

        The exhibition runs until 31 August 2008.  Library hours are as follows:

Monday to Friday 9.30am to 8.00pm
Saturday & Sunday 11.00am to 4.00pm
