Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der britische Seefahrer und Entdecker James Cook (1728-1779) ist vor allem durch drei große Fahrten durch den Pazifik bekannt geworden. Auf diesen Expeditionen entdeckte er zahlreiche Inseln, die er vermaß und kartografisch verzeichnete. Ihm ist die genaue geografische Beschreibung und Vermessung des Pazifik zu verdanken. Das vorliegende Buch beinhaltet Cooks Aufzeichnung seiner ersten Seereise auf seinem Segelschiff Endeavour, das der britischen Marine angehörte. Ziel dieser Reise war es, eine Reihe von Wissenschaftlern nach Tahiti zu bringen, die vor Ort astronomische Vermessungen durchführen sollten. Überdies waren Cook und seine Crew die ersten Europäer, die auf dieser Fahrt die Ostküste Australiens passierten. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine englischsprachige Ausgabe.

Book excerpt: Strange it must appear that the account of perhaps the most celebrated and, certainly to the English nation, the most momentous voyage of discovery that has ever taken place--for it practically gave birth to the great Australasian Colonies--has never before been given to the world in the very words of its great leader. It has fallen out in this wise. After the return of the Endeavour it was decided that a full and comprehensive account of the voyage should be compiled. COOK'S JOURNAL dealt with matters from the point of view of the seaman, the explorer, and the head of the expedition, responsible for life, and for its general success. The Journals of Mr. Banks and Dr. Solander looked from the scientific side on all that presented itself to their enthusiastic observation. What could be better than to combine these accounts, and make up a complete narrative from them all? The result, however, according to our nineteenth-century ideas, was not altogether happy. Dr. Hawkesworth, into whose hands the Journals were put, not only interspersed reflections of his own, but managed to impose his own ponderous style upon many of the extracts from the united Journals; and, moreover, as they are all jumbled together, the whole being put into Cook's mouth, it is impossible to know whether we are reading Cook, Banks, Solander, or Hawkesworth himself.

Download or read book Captain Cook s Journal During the First Voyage Round the World The Original Classic Edition written by James Cook and published by Tebbo. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are James Cook's actual log books and contain lengthy passages of sextant readings, weather, currents, and so on. It picks up when the Endeavour makes land and Cook has to deal with colonial bureaucrats, establish relations with natives, or discipline misbehaving crew. Cook's personality slowly reveals itself through his dry, veddy British comments on events throughout the voyage. It's also fun to pull up Google Earth and follow along using the daily lattitude & longitude. The route starts from London, and includes Rio de Janiero, around Tierra del Fuego, Tahiti, circumnavigation of New Zealand, mapping of Australia's east coast, Batavia [Jakarta], and Cape Town. This edition was published in 1893 with and introduction and historical notes throughout by Captain W, J, L, Wharton. This work begins with a brief sketch of the life of Captain Cook. I have read several full blown biographies of this most famous of Captains and explorers but I have to tell you that this brief sketch was worth book alone and if a reader's interest lies in this direction, this little introduction to Cook's log will most certainly stimulate interest and quite possible the motivation to read one of the several great biographies available. What follows is a fascinating story. A copy of Cook's actual log; a very detailed log I might say. I will tell you right now that there are hundreds of nautical readings; latitudes, longitudes, wind speeds, depth readings, temperature readings weather reports. To be honest I did quite a lot of 'skim reading' when I can to these parts (and here were many) of the log book. Likewise as to the references to the mechanics of the ship as I confess to you that I do not know a 'topsail' from an anchor chain, much less 'Topgallant Yards.' This was fine by me though. I am not a sailor, never been a sailor and have no intention of ever stepping on a ship or boat that leaves the sight of land. I love to read about such things though. The most interesting aspect of this book for me though was when the good Captain recorded his observations as to his crew and the various indigenous peoples encountered on this voyage. It was also of great interest to me just how much Cook worried, suffered and fretted over the well being of his crew. This man was not only adventuresome, smart and able, he also seemed to care greatly for his fellow travelers.Do not that some of the terms used here will take some research and getting use to. The writing style is typical of those times as is the sentence structure, the strange use of capital letters which pop up in the most unlikely places, and indeed, much of the spelling. This all fascinated me. I would also recommend, if you are extremely interested and really want to get the most out of this work, you should have a good atlas; both old and new, close at hand. This will enhance the reading of this work greatly. You will enjoy many aspects of this work.

Book excerpt: Cook led three famous expeditions to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779. In voyages that ranged from the Antarctic circle to the Arctic Sea, Cook charted Australia and the whole coast of New Zealand, and brought back detailed descriptions of the natural history of the Pacific. Accounts based on Cook's journals were issued at the time, but it was not until this century that the original journals were published in Beaglehole's definitive edition. The JOURNALS tells the story of these voyages as Cook wanted it to be told, radiating the ambition, courage and skill which enabled him to carry out an unrivalled series of expeditions in dangerous waters.

Book excerpt: CAPTAIN COOK'S life, or the account of so much of it as is recoverable, has been so often recounted that there is no occasion to insert more in this publication than is necessary as a reference to the reader, to enable him to realise the career and character of the man. Cook's first biographer, Andrew Kippis, wrote in 1788, and his work has recently been republished. The latest and best life is by Walter Besant whose graceful pen has given us a fascinating, interesting, and, as far as is possible, complete picture of this great Englishman. Many details of Cook's private life are lost, but enough has been collected by Mr. Besant to place our hero vividly before us, and a perusal of his work is strongly recommended. Many things in the following sketch are taken from Mr. Besant, to whom I wish to tender my acknowledgments. James Cook rose from nearly the lowest ranks. The second son of James Cook, a Yorkshire labourer, and Grace his wife, he was born on the edge of the Cleveland Hills on February 27th, 1728, in the little village of Marton, which lies about four miles south-south-east of Middlesborough, and five miles west of the well-known hill and landmark, Roseberry Topping.
