Shows Carteret and <i>Swallow</i> at English Cove, on an island off New Britain (so named by William Dampier), where they dropped anchor on 27 August 1767 for fresh food and water. The island appeared to be uninhabited. In the background is 'Swallow', heeled over for repairs and careening. They left on 7 September after taking possession of the country and all the neighbouring islands for the king of Britain, George III.
