There is a note on Cook's death: 'Owyhee / Capt. Cook killed 1779'. Tasmania is depicted as an island. The tracks of Cook's second and third voyages are shown with corresponding dates. A total of seven oceans are named. The Newton firm opened new premises in Fleet Street in 1852, on which the dating of this hand globe is based.
