Captain James Cook

Slide, lantern slide depicting a black and white image of Captain James Cook. Captain James Cook explored the South Seas from 1772 to 1775. He sailed from Plymouth in 1772 on his second voyage of discovery in his vessel 'Resolution', in search of a great southern continent. Failing to discover this he sailed for New Zealand, then on through the South Pacific, discovering and mapping a number of islands en route. Part of a set of sixty seven black and white lantern slides held in a wooden box depicting scenes mostly from the Terra Nova Expedition 1910-1912, with a few concerning the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition 1914-1915.
