Historie
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 Cook was a methodical explorer with the soul of a scientist. He was born into an age when the search for scientific knowledge was as intense as the thirst for conquest had once been. He was hired by a shopkeeper in Staithes, a tiny fishing village northwest of Whitby, and spent his days stocking shelves and weighing fish.
#2 Cook’s love of seafaring was clear to everyone. He had served nine years with the North Sea trade, gaining promotions to able seaman, mate, and second-in-command of his ship. He wanted to join the Royal Navy, but England was preparing for war with France, and its navy needed recruits.
#3 The life of a Royal Navy officer was not as glamorous as it might seem. The ranks of the Royal Navy were filled with derelicts, pressed into service who knew nothing about life at sea. Many succumbed to disease, the worst offender being scurvy.
#4 When Cook joined the Royal Navy, he was given the position of master’s mate on the Eagle, a ship that was patrolling the waters south of Ireland and capturing French ships. Within just three months, Cook was promoted to captain’s mate.
