1929Four Unique Reports on Captain James Cook. 30 pages. Includes black and white plates, plus a fold-out colour map. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a fantastic tribute to recount the merits and achievements of a once young apprentice to a shipping company at age 18, who later became one the world's most respected and accomplished explorers, and who commanded three voyages of discovery for Great Britain, and sailed around the world twice, the famous Captain James Cook. The first is a paper which was contributed to the Celebrations at Honolulu in August, 1928, a celebration with a threefold interest. The discovery of the Sandwich Islands was an event of unique importance in the story of the Hawaiians, and an incident of a typical and significant kind in the history of England; it is also the earliest recorded event in the history of what is now a State of the USA. On the topic of the Founding of British Power in the Pacific, Professor Holland answers in detail, the questions of what may have motivated the British Admiralty to unveil the age-old mystery of the southern tracts of the great Southern Ocean, and who sent Cook on those three long voyages. Cook, along with his patient crew of the Resolution hammered away at the Antarctic barrier, his iron strength breaking down under the prolonged strain of cold and privation, varied only by nauseating meals of highly salty meat and mouldy biscuits. Captain Cook has been hailed not only as the discoverer of several groups of islands in the Pacific, as the intrepid voyager who explored the coasts of New Zealand and Eastern Australia, but also as the chief explorer of the coast which is now Bristish Columbia, as the man who started the impulse which led to the North American-China trade, and thus laid the foundations of British power both in the southwestern and northwestern parts of the Pacific Ocean. Not only a renowned British Navigator and Explorer, this report includes fascinating detail of his career as a Hydrographical Surveyer, as well as an Astronomer. It was at age thirty that he was first heard of as a surveyer in connection with his well-known work of examining the St. Lawrence River and its channel, therefore making possible the attack on Quebec and the passage of the ships of the fleet in waters where the enemy had not dared to risk their vessels. Captain Cook's voyages lead to the establishment of colonies throughout the Pacific by several European countries. He travelled from his homeland of Great Britain to lands where few had gone before; bringing home much for his country. He was a discoverer, a mapmaker, and an innovator in the process of long distance sea travel.
