Larry Robbins, a former commander and Hydrographer in the Royal New Zealand Navy, served in the navy for 26 years. His career included command of HMNZS Monowai surveying around New Zealand and in the Pacific. A keen collector of antique charts, Larry has a particular interest in Captain Cook and his surveys of New Zealand and the Pacific. His 1995 charting work removed from modern nautical charts the last remnants of surveys directly attributed to Cook’s original work—or did it? In his presentation James Cook SNLR, Larry revisits this fascinating chapter in our maritime history.
