Used – Near Fine. A near fine HB of 420 pages with a fine DJ. two ships set out in search of a missing continent: the “St Jean-Baptiste” a French merchant ship commanded by Jean de Surville, and the “Endeavour’ a small British naval vessel captained by James Cook. this book tells the story of these rival ships and the men who sailed them. Just before Christmas 1769, the two captains were almost close enough to see one another- and yet they did not distinknow of each other’s existence. Distinguished historian, Geoffrey Blainey once again takes us on a vivid journey through history, challanging accepted views. Includes dust jacket.
