1804 CAPTAIN COOK 3^rd Voyage Hawaii Islands Alaska Pacific NW Exploration 3v Set

“The Third Voyage of James Cook” chronicles the famed British explorer’s final expedition from 1776 to 1780, which ostensibly aimed to return Omai, the first recorded Pacific Islander to visit England, to his homeland of Raiatea but was secretly tasked with finding the elusive Northwest Passage. The voyage included visits to Tasmania, New Zealand, the Tongan Islands, Tahiti, and the Hawaiian Islands—where Cook met his tragic end in 1779—as well as Arctic regions near Alaska and Russia.

Translated by J.B.J. Breton, this scarce 1804 French edition compiles all four volumes and atlas into three tomes, featuring 23 engravings that depict a variety of indigenous peoples, landscapes, as well a map of the route taken during Cook’s voyage!
