The enthralling story of Captain Cook's voyage to Australia, as seen through the eager eyes of a cabin boy. When young Isaac Manley sailed on the Endeavour from England in 1768, no one on board knew if a mysterious southern continent existed in the vast Pacific Ocean. It would be a voyage full of uncertainties and terrors. During the course of the three-year journey, Isaac's eyes are opened to all the brutal realities of life at sea - floggings, storms, press-gangs, the deaths of fellow crewmen, and violent clashes on distant shores. Yet Isaac also experiences the tropical beauty of Tahiti, where he becomes enchanted with a beautiful Tahitian girl. He sees the wonders of New Zealand, and he is there when the men of Endeavour first glimpse the east coast of Australia, anchor in Botany Bay, and run aground on the Great Barrier Reef. Acclaimed and award-winning historical novelist Anthony Hill brings to life this landmark voyage with warmth, insight and vivid detail in this exciting and enlightening tale of adventure and discovery.

p.28-29 The dangers of sea life. Alex stands in a coil of rope and is dragged overboard.
I read this book not long after visiting the National Maritime Museum in Sydney where the replica Endeavour is berthed. I was able to go onboard and so a lot of this book has futher reference because I have actually seen and touched and experienced their quarters and implements first hand. There is only one original timber in the whole ship but I was able to touch it and think about the hard life that these men lived. I have also been to Cooktown, climbed the hill that Cook did and have also sailed over the reef so could really envisage this amazing historical story . An excellent book for students to study .
