Inset plans of Cawoor Bay, Pulo Pisang and Little Fortune Island with Billimbing Bay are all by Captain Joseph Huddart. Joseph Huddart (1741-1816) was a Captain in the East India Company as a hydrographer and civil engineer. This chart was one of many of his work which are found in Laurie and Whittle’s “Complete East India Pilot” which was first published in 1798. NMM 379 no. 146.
