1806 Voyages Captain James Cook Australia Hawaii Astronomy Illustrated MAP 7v

 

“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 early 19^th-century collection of the works of Cook include his accounts from all three voyages, 6 full-page engravings, and a folding map of the voyage routes.
