Description
1871 Captain Cook Voyages Around the World Tahiti Hawaii Exploration Antarctica
“The Story of Captain Cooks Three Voyages Round the World,” as told by Meredith Jones, is a comprehensive retelling of the expeditions led by the legendary British explorer Captain James Cook. Known for his extensive mapping and pioneering navigation, Cooks voyages took him to many then-unknown regions, including Tahiti, New Zealand, and the Hawaiian Islands where he ultimately met his fate. The book, enhanced by 40 detailed engravings, focuses on the most captivating aspects of these journeys, such as the crossing of the Antarctic Circle, the first interactions with indigenous peoples, and the nascent stages of urban development in places like San Francisco and Sacramento during the Gold Rush era. This work encapsulates Cooks enduring legacy and his contributions to exploration and cartography.
