Knight had served as J. F. W. Des Barres' senior hydrographer throughout the 1770s in the making of the coastal surveys which then went to the making of the Atlantic Neptune between 1777 and 1782.  By 1801, the time this UK survey was completed Knight had risen to the rank of Rear Admiral and was posted back to Britain where he served-out his days.  This beautiful chart of the coastline of Norfolk stretches from Lowestoff in the east to Cromer in the west and it provides a seaman's view of that part of an important part of the coast
