Nelson/Blind Bay T shirt - MADCAT

This image I have carefully copied from a section of the nautical Chart ” Cape Fowlwind to D’Urville Island ” credited to Captain J L Stokes in 1850. This chart was updated in 1890 with the name of Torrent Bay. The original chart is held in the Kura Heritage collection of The Auckland Library.

I have used only the Nelson originally called Blind Bay section of the chart. For composition purposes I have added a typical compass of the period. I have used most but not all of the bays nautical depths as the artwork would have been too crowded. I find interesting the mention of the “Boulder Bank being partly awash” as my view of the Boulder Bank as I look out to sea from my studio is still there 165 years later.
