THE VOYAGE OF THE ENDEAVOUR

By ALAN FROST

Captain Cook and the discovery of the Pacific

In The Voyage Of The Endeavour by Alan Frost, our foremost chronicler of Pacific exploration, brings all these threads together to create a new picture of a remarkable adventure. In doing so, Frost overturns the familiar ideas of Lt James Cook RN. The supremely competent 'tradesman' navigator is revealed as a passionate visionary whose impact on those he worked with was profound.

Within this book you will discover what it meant to sail with Captain Cook into the uncharted waters of the South Pacific, why the Endeavour sought out the mysterious Great South Land and what kind of man Cook was.
