Title | View of a Fiatooka, or Burying Place, in Tongataboo. |
View shows a burial ground on Tongatapu, an island in the Kingdom of Tonga. Cook returned to Tongatapu on his third voyage and anchored there from June 10 to July 10, 1777. In his diary, he reported a visit to a fa'itoka (cemetery/burial ground), the places designated for the burial of the dead. After John Webber, engraved by Thornton. This view originally appeared in the official account of Cook's third voyage, but this version was published in George William Anderson's “A New Authentic and Complete Collection of Voyages around the World”, published by Hogg in 1784. | |
