Synopsis

James Cook began his seafaring career in the 'coal cats' of the North Sea trade. He served in the Royal Navy, playing a major part in the capture of Quebec during the Seven Year's war. Appointed to HMS Endeavour - a collier bark - he led an expedition to Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand and Batavia. His second voyage in HMS Resolution took him far south to the Antarctic while his third great voyage, also in the Resolution, bore him to his violent death in Hawaii. This book explores not only Captain Cook's monumental achievements as an explorer, but also gives him great credit as a seaman of inspired efficiency and enterprise, pioneering trade routes, charting the seas and dispelling the cloud of the unknown for seamen of all time.
