Lost Paradise : Exploration of the Pacific – Ian Cameron

R500.00

Describes the physical creation of the Pacific, and suggests how the ocean’s multitude of islands may have been first populated by those true discoverers of the ocean, the Polynesians. It brings vividly to life the epic voyages of the Spanish, Dutch, British, French, Russian and American explorers as they battled against the vast distances of the Pacific and the appalling weather conditions of the ocean’s polar approaches. It recounts the excesses of the exploiters – the freebooters, sealers, whalers, missionaries and traders – who followed in the explorers’ wake.
