Captain James Cook and the Search for Antarctica
Author: James C. HamiltonPublisher: Pen and Sword History
ISBN: 1526753588
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
A fascinating account of the famous explorer’s voyages through the southern Pacific and Antarctic Oceans, based on firsthand journals and logbooks. In the mid-18th century, Captain James Cook undertook extraordinary voyages of navigation and maritime exploration to discover the Unknown Southern Continent. He accomplished and encountered much during his three voyages through the uncharted southern waters, yet his Antarctic voyages are perhaps the least studied of all his remarkable travels. Now James Hamilton’s gripping and scholarly study brings together the stories of Cook’s Antarctic journeys into a single volume. Using Cook’s journals and the logbooks of officers who sailed with him, this volume sets his Antarctic explorations within the context of his historic voyages. Captain James Cook and the Search for Antarctica offers fascinating insight into Cook the seaman and explorer. The exceptional navigational skills of Cook and his crew are vividly depicted as they survive foul weather across uncharted and inhospitable seas.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Now in paperback, the story of Birdie Bowers--one of the four men who reached the South Pole with Captain Scott--and his indefatigable spirit Described by Captain Scott as "a marvel" and "indomitable to the last," Henry "Birdie" Bowers (1883-1912) realized his life's ambition when he was selected for Scott's Terra Nova Expedition to the Antarctic, yet he was only asked to join the team that would actually reach the South Pole at the last moment. He died on the return journey, caught in a blizzard with Scott and Edward Wilson. Born to a seafaring father and adventurous mother on the Firth of Clyde, Bowers' boyhood obsession with travel and adventure took him round the world several times and his life appears, in hindsight, to have been a ceaseless preparation for his ultimate Antarctic challenge. Only 5'4," he was nevertheless a bundle of energy: knowledgeable, determined, and the ultimate team player. This new biography, drawing on Bowers' letters and journals and previously neglected material, sheds new light on his achievements and tells the full story of the hardy naval officer who could always lift his companions' spirits.
