A fascinating account of the famous explorer’s voyages through the southern Pacific and Antarctic Oceans, based on firsthand journals and logbooks. In the mid-18th century, Captain James Cook undertook extraordinary voyages of navigation and maritime exploration to discover the Unknown Southern Continent. He accomplished and encountered much during his three voyages through the uncharted southern waters, yet his Antarctic voyages are perhaps the least studied of all his remarkable travels. Now James Hamilton’s gripping and scholarly study brings together the stories of Cook’s Antarctic journeys into a single volume. Using Cook’s journals and the logbooks of officers who sailed with him, this volume sets his Antarctic explorations within the context of his historic voyages. Captain James Cook and the Search for Antarctica offers fascinating insight into Cook the seaman and explorer. The exceptional navigational skills of Cook and his crew are vividly depicted as they survive foul weather across uncharted and inhospitable seas.
