1783 Captain James Cook Third Pacific Voyage Illustrate
1783 Captain James Cook Third Pacific Voyage Illustrated MAP Australia Rickman
“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 third Pacific voyage, which began in 1776, took Cook and his crew around New Zealand and Hawaii. On this trip, Cook became well acquainted with the King of Hawaii, Kalani-opu’u. After spending time in the South Pacific, Cook also took his ship northward to the Aleutian Islands reaching to the Arctic Circle. Cook eventually died upon his return to Hawaii, after angering the King of Hawaii.
In 1781, before any other literature was published on this voyage, John Rickman published an account of Cook’s Third Voyage. The British Navy demanded that nothing be published until the official account was completed; however, Rickman, with his notes on the voyage, anonymously published his book to the excitement of French and British readers.
This 1783 edition of Rickman’s book includes one folding engraved view of the death of Cook and an impressive folding map of the South Pacific.
