In 1768 George III of England ordered an ambitious expedition to the Pacific Ocean to observe an eclipse of the sun and see the mythical southern continent. James Cook, an unknown petty officer, is controversially appointed as commander, choosing an unlikely collier to carry him and his men into dangerous and unknown waters. After sailing to Tahiti, where the eclipse proves disappointing, Cook proceeds to chart the coast of New Zealand and Australia beginning a glorious adventure, spanning the oceans of the world. During Captain James Cook's first voyage, in 1770, he discovered the east coast of Australia. He later recommended Australia as a future British colony.
