This plan of the entrance to Nootka Sound was surveyed by Roberts and drawn in 1778. It is an important chart of a disputed area between the Great Britain France and Spain and published in the London 1784-85 and Paris editions in 1785. However there is some controversy on the survey sources of the original draft. The 22 year old William Bligh 1754-1817 was the Master on the 'Resolution' and argues that Roberts copied Bligh's surveys and took credit with the Admiralty. Lieutenant Henry Roberts 1756-1796 accompanied Captain Cook on the third voyage of the 'Resolution' and 'Discovery' 1776-1780. This voyage was to the islands of the Pacific Australia the Pacific Northwest America Alaska Kamchatka and Hawaii. In Hawaii Cook was killed in a misunderstanding with the natives at Kealakekua Bay.
