In another chapter out of history, Captain Cook and his men are seen plotting a course for their next journey. As the text explains, "His voyages around the world for making new discoveries were undertaken in the Endeavor in 1768 and the Resolution in 1772. Both these ships were built at Whitby." Once again, the work Zinkeisen did for the theatre, designing both sets and costumes, is evident in the drama of the image.
