. English: 'View in Pickersgill Harbour, Dusky Bay, New Zealand' Hodges' paintings of the Pacific are vivid records of British exploration. He was appointed by the Admiralty to record the places discovered on Cook's second voyage, undertaken in the 'Resolution' and 'Adventure', 1772-75. This was primarily in the form of drawings, with some oil sketches, many later converted to engravings in the official voyage account. He also completed large oil paintings for exhibition in London on his return, which exercised lasting influence on European ideas of the Pacific. The National Maritime Museum holds 26 oils relating to the voyage of which 24 were either painted for or acquired by the Admiralty. Cook's main purpose on this expedition was to locate, if possible, the much talked-of but unknown Southern Continent and further expand knowledge of the central Pacific islands, in which Hodges' records of coastal profiles were in part important for navigational reasons. This painting depicts the 'Resolution' moored alongside the shore in Pickersgill Harbour, Dusky Bay, New Zealand, where Cook’s two ships arrived on 11 April 1773. The harbour was named after Richard Pickersgill, the 'Resolution's' third lieutenant, who observed its safety and convenience as an anchorage, made possible through the deep water close in to the shore. The area is shown thickly wooded with dense, cool temperate rain forest and Hodges has carefully delineated the botanical features of the exotic vegetation, ferns, creepers and giant forest trees. As Cook noted in his account, nature conveniently provided a large tree growing horizontally over the water that was transformed into a gangplank. Hodges has chosen this natural gangway as the subject of his painting as seen from the ship, as it reached the ship's gunwale. A heavy tackle from one of 'Resolution's' yardarms is shown both securing the ship to the tree and perhaps also supporting the flimsy bridge. Hodges has also created an unusual compositio
