Captain Cook: True Lives — Haydn Middleton

James Cook grew up on a farm, but his secret dream was to be a sailor. He wanted to travel as far as it is possible for a man to go. James' three great voyages of discovery took him from Australia to the Arctic, further than anyone else had sailed before. His explorations filled in the last empty spaces on the map of the world.
