James Cook


Ahhhhhhh! I am on my ship and these waves are like crazy (super crazy)! I am writing this in my diary on my ship, Endeavor. I have been to Tahiti to see the Venus Eclipse. It looks like a tiny dot passing the sun. On my second trip I sailed past Australia and New Zealand and Java. I lost 30 members of my crew in Java. (sad) I am heading for a small group of islands in the Pacific Ocean called the Sandwich Islands. (Hawaii)

James Cook, 1779
