Antique print titled 'Baye de la Posession dans l'Isle de la Géorgie Australe'. View of Possession Bay, on the north coast of South Georgia, an island in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Captain James Cook circumnavigated the island in 1775 and made the first landing.

This print originates from 'Voyage Dans L'Hemisphere Austral, et Autour Du Monde' by Jacques Cook. Published circa 1780.
