And his ghost may be heard if you pass by that billabong
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

Endeavor deserved a better end.

What wonderful adventures by daring men.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Having to acquaint myself with some of the geography of England before i go aboard the Endeavor. I located Yorkshire region on the map of England and wanted to see specifically where she was built .....at Whitby. I then located Plymouth and Devonport on the English channel.

If only Cook would of had access to Google Maps

I thought the same, OG. Just imagine sailing South without even knowing there was any land there at all. Amazing. What an adventure, and such a pity that Cook himself was killed by the people he discovered.

Hag, I was born in Burnley just over the border in Lancashire. England is a very small place.

It's fascinating stuff.

I have a book about what happened after Cook was killed and talks about why.
