1797 Captain James Cook Pacific Voyages New Zealand Australia Tahiti Tasmania



“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.



The events of this voyage became quite popular in the western world, much in part to the narrative that Cook himself wrote concerning the journey.



This volume from the 1797 American edition covers Cooks first and second voyages including his discovers in Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania, and others!
