Description
From New York Times bestselling author Hampton
Sides, an epic account of the most momentous
voyage of the Age of Exploration, which
culminated in Captain James Cook8217sdeath in
Hawaii, and left a complex and controversial
legacy still debated to this day.8220Sies has
mastered the art of you-are-there historical
narrative. A thrilling and necessary update to
one of history8217smost consequential cultural
collisions.quot8212Jon Vaillant, New York
Times bestselling author of Fire Weather and The
TigerOn July 12th, 1776, Captain James Cook,
already lionized as the greatest explorer in
British history, set off on his third voyage in
his ship the HMS Resolution. Two-and-a-half years
later, on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook
was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians.
How did Cook, who was unique among captains for
his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures,
come to that fatal moment?Hampton
Sides8217bravura account of Cook8217slast
journey both wrestles with Cook8217slegacy and
provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic
efforts and continual danger that characterized
exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for
his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership,
and his dedication to science-8211th famed
naturalist Joseph Banks accompanied him on his
first voyage, and Cook has been called one of the
most important figures of the Age
of Enlightenment. He was also deeply interested
in the native people he encountered. In fact, his
stated mission was to return a Tahitian man, Mai,
who had become the toast of London, to his home
islands. On previous expeditions, Cook mapped
huge swaths of the Pacific, including the east
coast of Australia, and initiated first European
contact with numerous
7
peoples. He treated his crew well, and endeavored
to learn about the societies he encountered with
curiosity and without judgment.Yet something was
different on this last voyage. Cook became
mercurial, resorting to the lash to enforce
discipline, and led his two vessels into danger
time and again. Uncharacteristically, he ordered
violent retaliation for perceived theft on the
part of native peoples. This may have had
something to do with his secret orders, which
were to chart and claim lands before
Britain8217simperial rivals could, and to
discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Whatever
Cook8217sintentions, his scientific efforts
were the sharp edge of the colonial sword, and
the ultimate effects of first contact were
catastrophic for Indigenous people around the
world. The tensions between Cook8217sovert and
covert missions came to a head on the shores of
Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious,
but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of
the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his
exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to
the fatal encounter.At once a ferociously-paced
story of adventure on the high seas and a
searching examination of the complexities and
consequences of the Age of Exploration, THE
WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our
finest narrative nonfiction writers.
