Captain Cook had captained two long voyages of discovery and had charted the east coast of Australia, New Zealand and innumerable islands in the Pacific. At the age of 47 he was awarded a comfortable pension for life and looked set to spend his retirement with his family in Greenwich. But after many years at sea he could not succumb to the monotony of life on shore. The Fatal Voyage is the story of his final epic journey when he led an expedition to search for the elusive North West Passage. He set sail from England in July 1776 but was never to return. He was killed in Hawaii in 1779.
