"The Life of Captain James Cook, the Circumnavigator," authored by Arthur Kitson, presents a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the remarkable achievements and adventures of the legendary British explorer, Captain James Cook. This book has been deemed a classic and has been a great collection of ideas that are comprehended into a single draft to read by readers of several age groups. Some stories are gruesome and bizarre, while others softly creep up on you and pull you in. Arthur Kitson's work delves into the life, exploits, and legacy of Cook, who is renowned for his pioneering voyages of exploration during the 18th century. The narrative delves into Cook's early years, his naval career, and his transformative journeys that charted uncharted waters, mapped new territories, and significantly expanded European knowledge of the world. Kitson sheds light on Cook's meticulous approach to navigation, his interactions with diverse cultures, and his contributions to geography, anthropology, and natural history. Through Kitson's vivid descriptions, readers are transported to the various landscapes and cultures that Cook encountered, from the Pacific islands to the coastlines of continents.

The explosive findings within this book are history-changing. They discount the age-old belief that Captain James Cook, the great circumnavigator, left no modern direct descendants. Using compelling, detailed and verifiable evidence, Colin Waters completely unravels, for the first time, the full fascinating story concerning the mysterious supposed 18th century drowning of his son, James Cook junior. The author also presents genealogical evidence to support old rumours that after faking his own death, James travelled to North Yorkshire where he joined his wife & son, leaving behind him a scandal that resulted in him being virtually expunged from all official naval records. The Royal Navy cover-up that resulted matches any modern-day conspiracy theory and gives credence to all those who today claim to be direct descendants of the famous Captain James Cook R.N.

Immediately, the ships were surrounded by a huge crowd ofIndians, either swimming around them or circling them in canoes. Cook describes thesituation in his journal: "I have no where in this Sea seen such a number of peopleassembled at one place, besides those in the Canoes all the Shore of the bay wascovered with people and hundreds were swimming about the Ships like shoals offish." Due to a lack of understanding the native's language, Cook and his crew hadno chance of realizing that all those people had gathered not only to greet strangersfrom across the ocean, but to celebrate the arrival of their god Lono, who wasbelieved to have sailed across the ocean in search of his wife "in time immemorial"and was due to return. In his last journal-entry Cook writes: ..". to enrich our voyage with a discovery which, though the last, seemed, inevery respect, to be the most important that had hitherto been made byEuropeans throughout the extent of the Pacific Ocean" ...]
