Now protected by an archival cover. "For many years people have speculated about Torres' voyage of discovery along the southern coast of New Guinea and through what is now called the Torres Strait. Captain Brett Hilder. gathered together all the clues now known and set out to establish the day-by-day route of Torres from his landfall in the Louisiades to the end of his voyage in Manila. Though some people may still disagree with his conclusions regarding the more controversial areas, they will not fail to be impressed by the care and thoroughness of his reconstruction of the voyage, which in itself is an engrossing story of exploration and discovery."
