Captain James Cook's voyage in the "Endeavour" which resulted in the mapping of New Zealand & the east coast of Australia, was an epic voyage into the unknown. According to the British government - who wished to deceive the world as to its true purpose - it was merely a scientific expedition to observe the transit of the planet Venus across the face of the sun, a measurement which could help to establish the scale of the universe itself. Instead it turned out to be the one of the greatest voyages of discovery. The story of the "Endeavour" has always been seen as a small part of Cook's biography when, in fact, the voyage is a complete narrative in its own right. It has never before been told in its full & dramatic context.
