Follow in the footsteps of Captain James Cook. Re-live his amazing voyage of discovery and first contact with the Maori people. In Captain's Log, Peter Elliott sails around New Zealand retracing Captain Cook's voyage of discovery in 1769. The log and journals of Captain Cook and crew of The Endeavour are heard as we follow the route of the voyage of first substantive charting, naming, and contact with the Maori. Cook's voyage represents the start of New Zealand's modern national history. The excerpts streamed on this website are made available courtesy of Livingstone Productions.
