Sailing in a southwesterly direction along the French coast, the Janus passed the port of Calais on the morning of May 19. By midafternoon the ship was nearing Boulogne. On May 20 it passed near the Isle of Wight around four in the afternoon. Bodmer executed a view of the northern prospect of this island and another of the French coast opposite as the Janus made its way down the English Channel toward Cape Hart, England.
Nearly 100 passengers embarked on the Boston for New York City on the afternoon of July 8. They arrived at their destination at noon on the following day. Bodmer's view of New York harbor from Staten Island was later reproduced as Vignette XXXIII in the atlas of aquatints that accompanied the publication of Maximilian's North American travel account in 1839-43.
