Publishers Description: It is no longer possible to cross the Pacific Ocean without encountering the ghost of Captain Cook and his voyages are the stuff of maritime legend. The Fatal Voyage is the story of his final epic journey when he led an expedition to search for the elusive North West Passage. He set sail from England in July 1776 but was never to return. He was killed in a bloody encounter at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii in 1779. Peter Aughton uses the letters, log records, and diaries of the participants to give an accurate account of Captain Cooks last days at sea and sums up what his extraordinary life meant for the world.
