This coloured lithographic chart from 1900, titled “New Zealand lighthouse chart of general coast and principal harbour lights,” depicts the positions of lighthouses around the New Zealand coastline. Published by the New Zealand Department of Lands and Survey, the 66 x 50 cm map includes an inset—9 x 14 cm—showing an enlarged plan of the southern entrance through Cook Strait. The map was drafted by A. Koch in collaboration with the New Zealand Marine Department and reflects maritime navigation priorities at the turn of the 20th century.
