Excerpt from All the Voyages Round the World: From the First by Magellan, in 1520, to That of Freycinet, in 1820 The distinguishing characteristic of the human mind being an invincible spirit of inquiry, which disdains to rest satisfied with the simple impres sions communicated by the external senses, it was, in all probability, one of the first desires of the first men who tenanted the earth, to gain, not only a more intimate, but comprehensive acquaintance with its peculiar qualities and figure.

"Having received my commission, which was dated the S5th of May, I768, I went on board on the 7th, hoisted the pennant, and took charge of the sliip, which then lay in the basin in Deptford Yard." - this is the beginning of the journal in which the legendary captain and discoverer of Australia and New Zealand described his adventures. The book contains the descriptions of the three voyages of Captain Cook, which resulted in the complete round-the-world expedition. Captain and his team were the first Europeans to meet the indigenous people of Australia and Oceania. Captain Cook took a great interest in the locals' style of life and customs. Thus, the book doesn't just present an account of one of the most daring sea expeditions in history but also impressions of the pioneering encounter of seamen with the people of unknown races.

Excerpt from Ventures and Voyages In the years when sailing Ships were of two or three hundred tons, and dangers created a common de nominator, the intimacy of ship life was something undisguisable; and that notwithstanding the sharp punishments - the severe inhuman penalties - which the captain or master would employ to uphold his authority. At least he was able to know the characters and dispositions of his men, as is possible only where bulkheads are non-existent or few and fighting was at close quarters. It will be our aim in this volume to present, to revive, the pictures of the past, and to observe the mistakes and follies on both Sides. Primarily, then, we look forward to some stirring sea stories of actual historical truth but in secondary aim we have our Observation keenly adjusted for those intricacies of shipboard life which usually escape the attention of historians, yet are requisite for any adequate conception of the subject.

Voyages In Search of the North-West Passage by Richard Hakluyt. As preface to Richard Hakluyt's records of the first endeavour of our bold Elizabethan mariners to find North-West Passage to the East, let me repeat here that old voyage of mine from No. 55 of "Household Words," dated the 12th of April, 1851: The Phantom is fitted out for Arctic exploration, with instructions to find her way, by the north-west, to Behring Straits, and take the South Pole on her passage home. Just now we steer due north, and yonder is the coast of Norway. From that coast parted Hugh Willoughby, three hundred years ago; the first of our countrymen who wrought an ice-bound highway to Cathay. Two years afterwards his ships were found, in the haven of Arzina, in Lapland, by some Russian fishermen; near and about them Willoughby and his companions-seventy dead men.

A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels, Volume 16 by Robert Kerr Having, as before related, taken our final leave of the Friendly Islands, I now resume my narrative of the voyage. In the evening of the 17th of July, at eight o'clock, the body of Eaoo bore N.E. by N., distant three or four leagues. The wind was now at E., and blew a fresh gale. With it I stood to the S., till half an hour past six o'clock the next morning, when a sudden squall, from the same direction, took our ship aback; and, before the sails could be trimmed on the other tack, the main-sail and the top-gallant sails were much torn.
