This reproduction highlights Maori naval architecture through the study of canoes observed in Tolaga and Bream Bays in New Zealand. The plate details with precision the sculptural elements of the prow, stern, and the specific sail system of these Pacific watercraft.

Produced during Jules Dumont d'Urville's expedition between 1826 and 1829, this lithograph illustrates the ethnographic ambition of the Astrolabe's voyage. Each stroke aimed to document cultural diversity and maritime know-how encountered during this scientific and documentary journey.

Due to its historical value and composition quality, this illustration constitutes a reference document on New Zealand naval traditions. It is ideal for enriching a collection dedicated to Oceania or for illustrating the history of maritime cultural contacts.
