In 1770, Captain James Cook sailed up the east coast of Australia in his ship, the HM Bark Endeavour.
Setting out from England in 1768, he was given two instructions: to observe the transit of Venus and to find and chart the mythical Great Southern Land. He succeeded in both tasks, despite he and his crew facing tremendous hardship and danger, to complete one of the great voyages of exploration.
From Cook to Convicts examines this epic voyage and its history-making consequences. (book flap)
