Captain Cook's Voyages

Captain Cook's Voyages is a historical account of the expeditions led by Captain James Cook, a renowned British explorer, during the 18th century. The book is written by Cook himself and documents his three major voyages across the Pacific Ocean, which took place between 1768 and 1779. The first voyage saw Cook and his crew sailing to Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus across the sun. They then continued their journey to explore and map the coasts of New Zealand and Australia. The second voyage was focused on discovering the fabled Southern Continent, but instead, Cook explored the islands of the South Pacific, including Tonga, Fiji, and the Hawaiian Islands. The third and final voyage took Cook to the Pacific Northwest of North America, where he explored the coast and searched for a Northwest Passage to the Atlantic Ocean. The book provides detailed accounts of the people, cultures, and landscapes encountered during these voyages, as well as the challenges and triumphs of the crew. Captain Cook's Voyages is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of exploration and the Pacific region. It provides a firsthand account of one of the most significant figures in maritime history and his contributions to the mapping and understanding of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
