This scene was originally drawn by James Clevely, carpenter on the Resolution. It shows the ships Resolution and Discovery at anchor in the harbour at Huahine, Tahiti, in 1777. This was the destination of the two Māori boys, Te Weherua and Koa, who had boarded the Resolution at Queen Charlotte Sound earlier that year. Their fate is unknown.
