While the story of Endeavour is widely known, Captain Cook sailed
with eight ships, which began their lives as merchant vessels. This
detailed illustrated history tells the story of these vessels and
the people who sailed in them. In placing these ships and people in
the personal, political, social, financial, scientific and
religious contexts of their times, this book provides a
comprehensive and readable account of the 'long eighteenth
century'. Using contemporary sources, this gripping narrative fills
a gap in Cook history and attempts to catch something of the
exciting, violent, gossipy but largely untaught and unknown period
through which these vessels and their people sailed literally and
figuratively between the old world and the new.
