James Cook

    27 oktober 1728 – 14 februari 1779

    Kapitein James Cook was een Britse ontdekkingsreiziger en navigator, beroemd om zijn nauwkeurige kartering en ontdekkingsreizen door de Stille Oceaan. Zijn gedetailleerde cartografie en exploratie, inclusief het eerste geregistreerde contact met Oost-Australië en de Hawaïaanse eilanden, breidden de Europese geografische kennis aanzienlijk uit. Cook toonde uitzonderlijke zeevaartkundige vaardigheden, moed en leiderschap onder uitdagende omstandigheden, en liet een nalatenschap achter die latere ontdekkingen en wetenschappelijk begrip eeuwenlang beïnvloedde.

      A Walk Across a Glass Ocean
    • er erregenden, abenteuerlichen Erlebnisfülle nur den Fahrten des Columbus nach. Cook war der Navigator, der die weißen Flecken auf der Karte des Pazifischen Ozeans tilgte, er entdeckte die fruchtbaren Ostküsten Australiens und Neuseelands, Neukaledonien und Hawaii, bereiste weite Küstenstriche Alaskas, wagte sich in die Arktis und umsegelte die gesamte Antarktis, wodurch er den jahrhundertealten Mythos der riesigen, fruchtbaren terra australis gegenstandslos machte. Wir lesen heute, nach über zweihundert Jahren, seine umfangreichen, gewissenhaft geführten, jedoch sachlich knapp und unprätenziös berichtenden Logbücher mit atemloser Faszination.
