The moai or stone statues of Easter Islands (Rapu Nui) in Polynesia were known to Western expeditions through the oil painting of William Hodges who was the artist on Captain Cook's visit to the island on a survey mission in 1774.
 
In 1868 the English ship HMS Topaze commanded by Richard Ashmore Powell collected the four ton statue Hoa Hakananai'a (thought to mean 'stolen or hidden friend') and took it out on a raft to the ship. In Valparaiso in Chile Paul-Émile Miot photographed the statue on the deck of HMS Topaze enroute to Great Britain where it is now in the British Museum
