Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book is a detailed account of the events leading to the famous explorer's untimely death in Hawaii. It delves into Cook's extensive travels and accomplishments, including his mapping of Newfoundland and his numerous voyages in the Pacific, which saw him make the first European contact with the eastern coast of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. The fatal error of Cook's final voyage is explored in-depth, revealing how his decision to kidnap the ruling chief of Hawaii in exchange for a stolen longboat ultimately led to his demise at Kealakekua Bay. This book provides a comprehensive look at one of history's most famous explorers and his tragic end.

In a style that is more detective story than conventional biography, Williams explores the multiple narratives of Cook's death. In short, Williams examines the story of Cook's progress from obscurity to fame and, eventually, to infamy--a story that, until now, has never been fully told.

Maritime historian James K. Barnett discovered extraordinary journals and paintings of Captain James Cook's demanding final voyage languishing in Australian archives. Expedition artist John Webber and two young officers"Discovery" first lieutenant James Burney, and "Resolution" Master's Mate Henry Roberts--offer remarkable eyewitness accounts of initial European contact, the first reasonably accurate maps of North America's west coast, the earliest comprehensive report from the Bering Sea ice pack, and portrayals of the celebrated mariner's dramatic death at Kealakekua Bay. Particularly astonishing for depictions of landings along Hawaii, Vancouver Island, and Alaska, Barnett adds context and commentary to complete the story.
