Captain Carteret and the voyage of the Swallow / H.G. Mowat. An account of the voyage of HMS Swallow to the South Pacific from 1766 -1769 under the command of Lieutenant Philip Carteret (1793-1796). Carteret, born in Jersey, joined the Navy at the age of 14, first serving in HMS Salisbury. Later, he served as lieutenant in HMS Dolphin under Captain John Byron on his voyage of circumnavigation in 1764-1766. Tasked with exploring the Pacific in the Swallow to search for the great southern continent thought to exist there, Carteret was critical of the ship's capabilities for such a voyage and doubted whether this was in fact, the planned destination. Initially sailing in the company of the faster HMS Dolphin under the command of Captain Samuel Wallis, the ships were parted shortly after sailing through the Strait of Magellan. Carteret and the Swallow continued on independently resulting in the discovery of the Pitcairn Islands. Beset by illness on board and a lack of supplies, Swallow arrived back in England ten months after HMS Dolphin. 2011. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92CARTERET:910.4(93/96)"17"

Exploration of the South Seas in the eighteenth century : rediscovered accounts /Sandhya Patel. "The first volume makes available Samuel Wallis' logs of the Dolphin's voyage 1766-68 in their original form for the first time. Captain Samuel Wallis was the first Englishman to come across the Tuamotus and the Society Isles in the South Pacific, specifically Tahiti. His writings predate the available textual sources by Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, the log of the Spanish voyages and James Cook - whose text Wallis' prefigures. The three logs attest to the very first encounter between Europeans and Tahitians, but until now comparatively little research has been conducted on the more elaborate second volume and none on the first. The Polynesian archipelagos grew into objects of discourse over the years and Wallis' logs may very well be located at the heart of these evocative constructs. The translated accounts of voyages undertaken by foreign vessels abounded in an era when they encouraged not only competitive geopolitical initiatives but also commercial enterprises throughout Europe, resulting in a voluminous textual corpus. However, French merchant-seaman Etienne Marchand's journal of his voyage round the world in 1790-1792, encompassing an important visit to the Marquesas Archipelago during his first crossing of the Pacific, remained unpublished until 2005 and has only now been made available in English. The second volume of this series comprises an annotated translation in English of this document."--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 910.4(100)

Three Greenwich built ships / David Ramzan. "Greenwich, the nautical centre of the world was also once part of the area of Southbank in London, which was the centre of British shipbuilding. David Ramzan looks at the development of Greenwich and Deptford, discussing their extensive shipbuilding past through the history of three ships, from their planning through to their final voyages. Although less well-known, these three ships have a remarkable history involving sea battles, journeys of discovery and record breaking voyages. They were the East Indiaman Princess Louisa, the iron clipper Hallowe'en, and the Royal Naval frigate Dolphin. Profusely illustrated, the book tells the story of three ships, similar to so many, and tells of their design, construction and use and gives an insight into London's maritime history."--Provided by the publisher. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.123.13(421.6)

Tupaia : Captain Cook's Polynesian navigator /Joan Druett. The biography of Tupaia, the Polynesian priest, scholar, diplomat, navigator, translator and artist who accompanied Captain James Cook on the Endeavour voyage. Tupaia was an expert local navigator, charting the area for Cook and piloting the Endeavour. Of high social ranking he acted as a diplomatic intermediary, interceding on behalf of the European voyagers with the New Zealand Maori.

Tales from the Captain's Log : from Captain Cook to Charles Darwin, Blackbeard and Nelson - accounts of great events at sea from those who were there "For centuries, ships' commanders kept journals that recorded their missions. These included voyages of discovery to unknown lands, engagements in war and sea and general trade. Many of their logs, diaries and letters were lodged at The National Archives and give a vivid picture of the situations that they encountered. Entries range from Captain James Cook's notes of his discovery of the South Pacific and Australia, to logs of the great naval battles, such as Waterloo and Trafalgar. From the ships that attempted to stop piracy in the Caribbean, to the surgeons who recorded the health of the men they tended and naturalists who noted the exotic plants and animals they encountered, comes a fascinating picture of life at sea, richly illustrated with maps, drawings and facsimile documents found alongside the logs in the archives."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(100)
