A General Chart Exhibiting the Discoveries made by Captn James Cook in this and his two preceeding Voyages, with the Tracks of the Ships under his Command
This engraving charts the discoveries of Captain James Cook (1728-1779), who made three separate voyages to the Pacific (with the ships Endeavour, Resolution, Adventure, and Discovery) and did more than any other voyager to explore the Pacific and Southern Ocean. Cook not only encountered Pacific cultures for the first time, but also assembled the first large-scale collections of Pacific objects to be brought back to Europe. He was killed in Hawaii in 1779.
