Cook in Hawaii, with the ships HMS Resolution and HMS Discovery. This is Kealakekua Bay where the British naval officer and explorer Captain James Cook (1728-1779) was later killed. After joining the Royal Navy, Cook's voyages included mapping the New Zealand coast and landing in Australia (1768-71), crossing the Antarctic Circle (1772-75) and searching for the North-West passage around Canada (1776-79). During this last voyage, Cook was killed on 14 February 1779 when fighting broke out between his men and natives. Artwork published in 'An authentic narrative of a voyage ... in search of a north-west passage between the continents of Asia and America' (William Ellis, 1782).
