Synopsis
British Royal Navy Captain James Cook's voyages of exploration across and around the Pacific Ocean were a marvel of maritime achievement, and provided the first accurate map of the Pacific. The expeditions answered key scientific, economic, and geographic questions, and inspired some of the most influential images of the Pacific made by Europeans. Now readers can immerse themselves in the adventure through the collections of London's National Maritime Museum, which illuminate every aspect of the voyages: oil paintings of lush landscapes, scientific and navigational instruments, ship plans, globes, charts and maps, rare books and manuscripts, coins and medals, ethnographic material, and personal effects. Each artifact holds a story that sheds light on Captain Cook, the crews he commanded, and the effort's impact on world history. Showcasing one of the richest resources of Cook-related material in the world, this publication invites readers to engage with the extraordinary voyages--manifested in material culture--and their continuing significance today.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (2,961)
- o***u (1099)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseQuick shipping. Packaging was ok however the post office managed to break both of them in transit. They were not in original condition but were in larger chunks. The sellers were very responsive, easy to communicate with, and understanding. They resolved the situation fairly. I highly recommend the sellers. Good people! Wished we could hold the shipping companies responsible for breakage during shipping.
- o***7 (725)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAs advertised, new, beautiful Hawaiian shirt. Shipped fast but packed in a flimsy bag. Luckily it arrived undamaged. The shirt is good value & quality. Would buy from this seller again, although $10+ shipping costs were a bit high for a plastic bag.
