After that came two more voyages for Cook and his crew, followed by Cook's untimely murder by natives in Hawaii. The voyage lasted from 1768 to 1771, and upon Cook's return to London, his journaled accounts of the expedition made him a celebrity. That task completed, his ship, the HMS Endeavour, continued to comb the southern hemisphere for the imagined continent Terra Australis. His orders were to chart the path of Venus across the sun.

In 1766, the Royal Society chose prodigal mapmaker and navigator James Cook to lead a South Pacific voyage. This is history's greatest adventure story.
