Illustrations from the Third and Last Voyage of Captain James Cook

All of these illustrations are after the artist John Webber (English 1750-1793)
    Engravings published in London, 1785 by G. Nicol an T. Codell
 

Captain James Cook (1728 - 1779)
 

These engraved illustrations are from The Third and Last Voyage of Captain James Cook, 1776-1779.  Captain Cook, while contributing greatly to the charting of the waters of the Pacific, was best known for the detail he gave to the charting of the life and livelihoods of the natives that he met on his voyages.  This last voyage began in New Zealand, became the trip where Europeans first discovered the Hawaiian Islands (then known as the Sandwich Islands), and went on along the west coast of Canada and Alaska.  Cook was ultimately looking for the Northwest Passage, but never found it.  After sailing the Bering Strait and exploring the Asian side he decided that he and his crew would winter in Hawaii.  Unfortunately this is where Captain Cook met his demise, and was killed by the natives that he had so patiently studied.  His crew survived and continued an Arctic exploration the next season, and then went home.
