Random-Mutant on 27.11.2025 10:07 a.m. While Cook got the latitudes correct, as his chronograph was running a little slow (? or was it fast?) his longitudes were squeezed together. So it’s not his fault the map looks a little odd. Cook was the world’s best navigator of his day. The last sounding of his was only updated on a NZ chart around 25 years ago.
