About This Book

A chronological survey of eighteenth-century maritime exploration that profiles major navigators and their expeditions across the Pacific, Atlantic, and polar regions. It combines biographical sketches, voyage narratives, and technical discussion of cartography and astronomical measurement, reproducing maps and illustrations and citing primary accounts. Chapters examine scientific surveys, coastal charting, encounters with indigenous peoples, shipwrecks and rescues, and the geopolitical motives behind voyages, presenting both discoveries and disasters while highlighting how navigation, observation, and imperial ambition shaped knowledge of distant lands.
