A scene on Raiatea, illustrating a native boat and a boathouse. It was sketched by Sydney Parkinson, who had died before the expedition reached England; however, after a dispute over ownership of his work with Parkinson's brother, Hawkesworth removed every reference to Parkinson from the Official Account of Cook's first voyage. This scene was copied by Robert Benard for the first French edition, 'Relation des voyages..' published 1774.
