Voyage map is incorrect near Australia[edit]

The voyage map “Cook'sThirdVoyage58.png” attached to the page shows HMS Resolution going through Bass Strait. That is, the water south of mainland Australia and north of Tasmania. In fact, HMS Resolution travelled to the south of Tasmania; Bass Strait was not discovered until the 1800's, and we know HMS Resolution stopped at Adventure Bay on the south coast of Tasmania (see wikipedia article). Would like to fix, but do not have any replacement graphic.Ross.m.kelly (talk) 11:00, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You could drop a note on AlexiusHoratius talk page as they created the map and could change it for you. Keith D (talk) 12:12, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Have done so.Ross.m.kelly (talk) 10:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies for the late reply (I moved about 1200 miles and getting internet service took 3 weeks longer than it should have.) I'll work on the map and it should be fixed in the next couple of days. The issue had already been brought up on the map with all three trips and that one was fixed up but I forgot I made separate ones for the voyages. Thanks for catching it and again sorry about the late reply. AlexiusHoratius 16:34, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
