About this Item
1804 CAPTAIN COOK 3rd Voyage Polynesian Islands Northwest Passage Exploration 3v The Third Voyage of James Cook chronicles the famed British explorer s final expedition from 1776 to 1780, which ostensibly aimed to return Omai, the first recorded Pacific Islander to visit England, to his homeland of Raiatea but was secretly tasked with finding the elusive Northwest Passage. The voyage included visits to Tasmania, New Zealand, the Tongan Islands, Tahiti, and the Hawaiian Islands where Cook met his tragic end in 1779 as well as Arctic regions near Alaska and Russia. Translated by J.B.J.
