Title: Chart of the currents off the Cape of Good Hope to accompany Captn. Toynbee's paper "On the specific gravity temperature & currents of the sea," the result of a portion of five consecutive yearly voyages from England to India
Contributors:- Image data

Summary: Includes explanatory note: "The Blue contour lines represent the limits of the cold (or ice bearing current) from 40° to 50° of temperature, _the Red contour lines, those of the warm current (or that derived from tropical regions) from 60° & upwards. The figures thus (59·5) denote the temperature of the surface (as observed) in precisely the same manner, as the soundings represent the depth of water on any ordinary chart. The direction of the currents is indicated by the flight of the Arrow_ near the barb of which is marked its velocity &c. Each date is underlined with the same colour as the track to which it belongs. The Chart represents the temperatures & currents during the months of August & September, about the parallel of 40°_ but near & round the Cape, during the month of February." Captain Toynbee's tracks of 1860-1, 1861-2, 1862-3, 1863-4, and summer 1864 are shown. Depth (Agulhas Bank) shown by shading. From: The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London.

Title: Map of the Colony of New Zealand: From Official Documents. By John Arrowsmith 1843. (with) map of the world on Mercators Projection. London, Pubd. 2nd Jan. 1843 by John Arrowsmith, 10 Soho Square (Raster Image)

Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of New Zealand created in 1843. The historic map layers in the Google Earth Rumsey Map Collection have been selected by David Rumsey from his large collection of historical maps, as well as some from other collections with which he collaborates. All the maps contain rich information about the past and represent a sampling of time periods, scales, and cartographic art, resulting in visual history stories that only old maps can tell. Each map has been georeferenced by Rumsey, thus creating unique digital map images that allow the old maps to appear in their correct places on the modern globe. Some of the maps fit perfectly in their modern spaces, while othersgenerally earlier period mapsreveal interesting geographical misconceptions of their time. Cultural features on the maps can be compared to the modern satellite views using the slider bars to adjust transparency. The result is an exploration of time as well as space, a marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with innovative contemporary software tools.
