This map was drawn according to information collected by the fleet of James Cook, a famous British navigator, explorer and cartographer, during his third Pacific cruise in 1780.The map details the hydrological data, waterways, backshores, water depth, latitudinal and longitudinal co-ordinates of Macao and its five neighbouring islands. It should be noted that“TYPA”is not Taipa today but the water way constituted by Taipa, Coloane and small Hengqin Island in Cross Gate water area. ; the waterway located at the southwest of the Macao Peninsula to Guangzhou was marked as ‘Macao Road’.
