Munck, Jens. [Map of Churchill Harbour 1624] [facisimle]. [1:107,712]. In: C.C.A. Gosch. The Expedition of Captain Jens Munk to Hudson's Bay in Search of a North-West Passage in 1619-20. London: Hakluyt Society, 1897. As reproduced by, Hakluyt Society, Danish Arctic Expeditions, 1605 to 1620, Book II, vol. 97. Munck's wintering place is depicted in this interesting woodcut, which combines pictorial representation of the countryside and of activities, with a stylized map of Churchill harbour. This is the first large-scale map of a Manitoba locale. Munck's two ships are anchored off their wintering place on the west side of the harbour. Two beacons are being stoked with logs cut from the nearby forests, two sailors return from the hunt with their kill over their shoulders, and one unfortunate crew member is being prepared for burial, likely one of the victims of the scurvy. The felling of timber, a continuous necessity, is the beginning of the process which was followed by all later inhabitants, and which denuded the countryside for miles back from the site. The shape of the harbour with its encircling arms is properly, though crudely, represented and its axis is correctly oriented north to south. (Warkentin and Ruggles. Historical Atlas of Manitoba. map 4, p. 24) Original manuscript and map in University Library, Copenhagen, (MS. Additamenta, No. 184) |
