In August and September 1774 Captain James Cook sailed westward across the Pacific, on the small ship Resolution, and chartered the New Hebrides and New Caledonia, discovering strange cultures and people.
In August and September almost 250 years later, Craig Cormick sailed eastwards across the Pacific, on the luxury cruise liner Pacific Dawn, visiting Vanuatu and New Caledonia, discovering new cultures and some very strange people.
Cruising with Cook amongst Cannibals not just follows the footsteps of Captain Cook around the western Pacific, but regularly encounters his spirit on the voyage, and hears what he has to say about how the past and present collide.
