Complied by John Currey.

May 1771,when nearly three years had passed since the Endeavour had sailed from England to explore the 'Great South Sea', the Admiralty concluded that James Cook and his party might have perished. Admiralty was reluctant to release details of Cook's voyage, the first accounts of his explorations came from private letters published anonymously in the London press.The accounts,together with Cook's own official and private letters,provide a unique eye-witness perspective on the three year odyssey of James Cook and Joseph Banks.
