GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This excellent publication provides a unique insight into the life and times of James Cook, perhaps the world's greatest explorer and seaman. It provides a remarkably detailed photographic and descriptive journey through the life of Captain James Cook throughout this beautiful rural and maritime region in North East England.
Virtually all the 270+ photographs have never been published previously and have been patiently gathered over some three years of intense research and preparation. As a result this is probably the most comprehensive visual story of the life of James Cook within this region of North Yorkshire that is now known as Captain Cook Country.
Indeed, there will probably be something new to discover for even the most ardent of 'Cook' enthusiasts. Overall the high quality images succeed in presenting an exciting and dramatic visual record of the places and features made famous by this remarkable man. Also included are some other features of the rich maritime history of this area.
Excellent value for money!
