Later he was commissioned to continue the exploration of the northwest coast of America to determine Britain's rights under the Nootka Sound Convention of 1790. Vancouver left the British Isles in 1791 and sailed via the Cape of Good Hope to Australia, continued to Tahiti and Hawaii and reached California in April 1792. There he spent two years surveying the coastline of the northwest coast. The voyage was remarkable for the accuracy of its surveys and resulted in the most precise maps of the area up to this time. The atlas has 8 double page maps and 5 engraved views devoted to America. One double page map and one engraved view are from the Sandwich islands and one double page map and one engraved plate of the southeast coast of New Holland. Vancouver returned to England in 1795 and started to work on this account of the journey but he died in 1789 before it was finalized. It was completed and published by his brother John.
