CAPTAIN COOK'S THIRD VOYAGE; WEBBER John 1752 1793 artist
A Man of the Sandwich Islands Dancing
London: G. Nicol & T. Cadell 1784. Etched and engraved by C. Grignion after a drawing by Webber. Image size: 10 1/4 x 7 inches. Sheet size: 22 x 15 1/2 inches. In this attractive portrait a young muscular man dances what was then a sacred dance called Hula. In his right hand he holds a feather covered gourd. Virtually nude he wears only a bark cloth "malo" or loin cloth a coral necklace and dogtooth leggings. His body is tattooed in rhythmic patterns that flow down his arms and legs. "Cook's third voyage was organized to seek the Northwest Passage and to return the islander Omai to Tahiti. Officers of the crew included William Bligh James Burney James Colnett and George Vancouver. John Webber was appointed artist to the expedition. After calling at Kerguelen Island Tasmania New Zealand and the Cook Tonga and Society Islands the expedition sailed north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands which Cook named the Sandwich Islands. Cook charted the American west coast from Northern California through the Bering Strait as far north as latitude 70 degrees 44 minutes before he was stopped by pack ice. He returned to Hawaii for the winter and was killed in an unhappy skirmish with the natives. Charles Clarke took command and after he died six months later the ships returned to England under John Gore. Despite hostilities with the United States and France the scientific nature of this expedition caused the various governments to exempt these vessels from capture. The voyage resulted in what Cook judged his most valuable discovery - the Hawaiian Islands" Hill. John Webber R.A. born in London of Swiss parents was the official artist on Cook's historic and final Pacific voyage. The drawings were the source for the engravings that illustrated Cook's "A Voyage to the Pacific" which was published in 1784. G. Nicol & T. Cadell unknown

Beechey heard at Kamchatka that Parry had turned back but he waited at Kotzebue Sound for Franklin through the Summers of 1827-8. "Near Point Barrow Alaska Beechey and Franklin had arrived within fifty leagues of each other when the latter was compelled by the weather to turn back." Also described are visits to Pitcairn Island Tahiti Alaska Hawaii Macao Okinawa and the coast of California. On Pitcairn Beechey met the last survivor of the Bounty mutiny John Adams.

Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. This is the story of Captain Simon Jacob Englehardt Jorgensen 1856-1926 and his unsinkable lifeboat the Storm King. He and his mate Johannes Nielsen both young but experienced Norwegian seamen set off from Victoria Docks in London on the 12th September 1889 and arrived in Adelaide in South Australia on 4th August 1890. Their aim was to prove to the world that such a boat would lessen the loss of life at sea for it was fitted with sails and had cabin space below. During the voyage they weathered fierce storms were followed by hungry sharks and worst of all at one time they were completely without pipe tobacco. In the Great Australian Bight they were hit by a liner and capsized. They survived all this but the struggle to have the lifeboat adopted had only just begun . Quantity Available: 1.

"Through the long arctic winter Parry did everything possible to keep his crew occupied. There was constant activity plays were acted at the 'Royal Arctic Theatre' and Sabine edited a periodical journal The North Georgia Gazette and Winter Chronicle" . This periodical was afterwards published by John Murray and is bound in with this journal. ON THE FIRST VOYAGE Parry was given command of the Hecla and Griper for his first expedition of 1819. Parry sailed up Baffin Bay and through Lancaster Sound and Barrow Strait to the south side of Melville Island encountering much less heavy ice than anticipated. The expedition over-wintered at Winter Harbour on the south side of Melville Island. Freeze-up delayed Parry until August of 1820 but he was still able to continue west to Dundas Peninsula and south to Banks Island before turning to head home to England. Parry's voyage was to be recognized as one of the most important in the history of Arctic exploration: he proved that Lancaster Sound opened a passage to the west he charted a vast area of the unknown Arctic and proved that it was possible to spend the winter north of the Arctic Circle without being in grave danger. He was also the first to reach 110 degrees west longitude which earned him and his crew a cash reward of �5000. AB 13145. The Journal based on Parry's reports appeared in 1821 after the rights had been bought by the publisher John Murray for the stunning amount of a 1000 guineas. In the same year this second corrected edition was published followed by German Dutch and French translations. ON THE SECOND VOYAGE " Sent by the Admiralty to search for a passage along the west coast of Foxe Basin Parry sailed north of Southampton Island instead of south the route preferred by previous navigators and thus became the first to sail through Frozen Strait and confirmed Middleton's discovery of Repulse Bay. In late Aug. having found no passage through Repulse Bay he explored the coast northward sailing as far as Ross Bay. In Feb. 1822 Eskimos visited the ships' winter quarters on Winter Island and spent much of the winter in the expedition's company enabling Parry and his men to make detailed observations on their customs and language. After leaving their winter quarters they explored farther north equipped with Eskimo maps ESKIMAUX CHART No 1 No 2 & No 3 facing p. 197 198 and 252 and found the entrance to Fury and Hecla Strait. Ice prevented their passing through it but overland journeys confirmed that it led westward to a sea. Parry returned to winter quarters and attempted to sail through Fury and Hecla Strait the following summer. Unsuccessful in this attempt and fearing scurvy he then returned home. Sabin 58864.
