CHAPTER 14
2/12

Drawn by Governor King.

Writing of this chart, he says that the longitude in which Lieutenant Grant placed Cape Otway was about a degree and a half in error.

He also made the land to trend away on the west side of Cape Otway to a deep bay, which he named Portland Bay.

An examination of modern maps will show that the name Portland Bay has been retained for a bay to the westward of Grant's Portland Bay, which is now called Armstrong Bay.
Chart of the track of His Majesty's Armoured Surveying Vessel Lady Nelson Lieutenant James Grant Commander.

From Bass's Straits between New Holland and Van Diemen's Land on her passage from England to Port Jackson.
