"Singlehanded sailing has a long and exciting history. Voyages have been made for sport, recognition or personal gain. Some epic solo voyages were accidental. Claims of unique or fast passages abound in this book, and today's singlehanded voyages - racing and cruising - should be weighted against the feats of Slocum, Dumas, Guzzwell and others of that distinguished fraternity. Originally published as An Evolution of Singlehanders." |

Cook's narrative of the first Belgian expedition to the Antarctic under Adrien Gerlache de Gomery was the only first-person account of the expedition publ in English. Cook joined party as an anthropologist after failing to promote an American Antarctic expedition. Having sailed from the So Shetlands & discovered the strait that separated Palmer Archipelago from the Mainland, the Belgica was caught in the ice in the Bellingshausen Sea and thus unintentionally became the 1st expedition to winter in the Antarctic. Among the crew was the young Roald Amundsen, on his 1st polar expedition, during which he took part in the first Antarctic sledging journey. |

The official published journals of Captain Cook - England's greatest explorer - were eagerly bought and read. But despite their thorough scientific detail, they revealed nothing of the man himself. With The Last Voyage, Hammond Innes completes the picture: this is a journal Cook might have kept, but didn't - the journal reserved for the thoughts he would not reveal either to his superiors in London or to his adoring public. |
