Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the largely forgotten story of Captain John Hayes, a British explorer whose contributions to maritime history and geography deserve recognition. The book explores the voyage of Hayesâ� �s two ships, the Duke of Clarence and the Duchess, through the South Pacific in the late 18th century, a period when the region was only just being charted. Hayesâ� �s expedition traversed uncharted waters, encountering coral reefs, strong currents, and remote islands, ultimately reaching New Guinea. There, Hayes established a spice factory and a settlement, attempting to secure a foothold for the British in a region coveted by European powers, particularly the Dutch. The book also delves into Hayesâ� �s later career in the Bombay Marine, detailing his service against Tippoo Sultan in the Indian wars. The author meticulously utilizes primary sources such as manuscript letters, family records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct Hayesâ� �s journey and achievements. A captivating read for anyone interested in maritime exploration, colonial history, and the lesser -known figures who shaped our understanding of the world. The book provides valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs faced by explorers navigating uncharted territories in the age of sail.
