Captain Cook and the Perils of the Sea March 29, 2009

Explore the story of Captain Cook with guide John Wilson. Captain Cook's expeditions took him around the globe to encounter tattoos in Tahiti, arctic ice and two very different experiences in Hawaii. Shipwreck expert Serena Cant will then explain the dangers faced by navigators and the lives lost at sea as we charted our oceans and underline the great achievement of 'the most able and enlightened navigator that England ever produced.'

This event will be presented in British Sign Language and English, with an interpreter.

Free, no booking required.

Come in to the main entrance of the National Maritime Museum and follow signs to the meeting point or ask at the front desk.
