Last Voyage

July 1776: Captain James Cook sails from Plymouth, in the three-masted collier Resolution, to find the North-West Passage. It is his third voyage of discovery, one that will take in the icy Arctic wasteland and the tropical Hawaiian waters. The official published journals of Captain Cook -- England's greatest explorer -- were eagerly bought and read. But despite their thorough scientific detail, they revealed nothing of the man himself. In The Last Voyage, Hammond Innes completes the picture: this is a journal Cook might have kept, but didn't -- the journal reserved for the thoughts he would not reveal either to his superiors in London or to his adoring public.
