1871 Captain Cook Voyages Australia Tahiti Hawaii Arctic
Pacific Illustrated
“Remember, the greater
the opportunity, the fewer are those who see it.”
– James Cook
James Cook was an
18th-century British explorer known for these three major world voyages. The
initial reason for his expeditions was to seek clarification and discover
unknown regions in the Southern Hemisphere, mainly Australia and the
surrounding islands. While on this excursion, Cook and company were able to
discern many astronomical mysteries, meet local tribes, helped develop means of
determining longitude lines, and find several important sea routes.
This 1871 edition is a
narrative of all three of Cook’s Voyages focusing on the most interesting parts
including Tahiti, crossing the Antarctic Circle, New Zealand, Sea Lions and
other discoveries in the South Atlantic, Hawaii and its King, Cook slain by
Natives, return journey from China, and more. This 1871 edition includes 37
full-page black and white illustrations!
