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.
Life and death of Captain James Cook as the Hawaiian god "Lono"
Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies, printed single-sided, grade: 1,0, University of Constance, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: On January 17th 1779, the HMS Resolution, under the command of Captain JamesCook, and the HMS Discovery under the command of Captain Charles Clerkeanchored for the first time in a shallow bay on the west of Hawaii, which the nativescalled Kealakekua Bay. 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" ...]
Heinrich Zimmermann uber den Tod von James Cook
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Literaturgeschichte, Epochen, Note: 1,0, Universit t Potsdam (Institut f r Germanistik), Veranstaltung: Weltreisen um 1800, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Er Kapit n Cook] ward in O-Waihi mit ebenden Ehrenbezeugungen als in Nihau empfangen. Wenn er ans Ufer stieg, fielen alle Einwohner, wes Standes sie auch sein mochten, vor ihm zur Erde nieder ...]." Die Ehrerbietung, welche James Cook im Laufe seiner dritten Reise von den S dseebewohnern entgegengebracht wurde, sollte nicht von langer Dauer sein. Letztendlich war es Cook selbst, der zu Boden sank, niedergestreckt durch einen Dolch, welcher, einst Geschenk der Europ er, nun der gegnerischen Partei zur Waffe gereichte. Der Tod des Seefahrers und Entdeckers ergriff nicht nur namhafte Zeitgenossen wie Georg Forster und Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, sondern besch ftigte bis in die j ngste Vergangenheit Anthropologen wie Marshall Sahlins und Gananath Obeyesekere. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet ihre Aufmerksamkeit jedoch weder den eloquenten Darstellungen zeitgen ssischer Reiseliteraten, noch dem anthropologischen Diskurs der letztgenannten Forscher. Vielmehr wendet sie sich einer Reisebeschreibung zu, welche ihre Exklusivit t aus der Tatsache zieht, dass sie auf den geheimen Notizen eines einfachen Matrosen fu t. Aus Abenteuerlust hatte der gelernte G rtler Heinrich Zimmermann im Jahre 1776 auf der HMS Discovery angeheuert und das Wagnis begangen, sich der strengen Untersagung jedweder m ndlichen oder schriftlichen berlieferung dieser Reise zu widersetzen. "Ganz kurz und in halben Worten deutscher Sprache" protokollierte er seine Eindr cke w hrend der vierj hrigen Entdeckungsfahrt und ver ffentlichte sie im Jahre 1781 unter dem Titel Reise um die Welt mit Capitain Cook. Im sechsten Kapitel schildert Zimmermann die Vorkommnisse auf Hawaii und die Ereignisse, die letztendlich in Cooks Tod m nden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll die Frage diskutiert werden, inwie
