Another in the LNER series by Zinkeisen featuring seaman James Cook at the port town of Whitby, examining a map with two other sailors. Considered one of the world's greatest explorers, Cook sailed around to far reaches of the world in the 18th century, reaching all seven continents during his lifetime. Whitby, where Cook got his start working as a ship builder's apprentice, has been a port for more than a thousand years and is still a seafarer's town.
