Images of Cook's second voyage
The images below come from a collection of drawings, paintings and sketches held in the Mitchell Library. Most are by William Hodges and Henry Roberts who sailed with Cook on his second expedition to the Southern Ocean from 1772 - 1775. The album was once owned by Cook's widow, Elizabeth. The pictures document the people and landscapes the expedition encountered - from tropical Tahiti to the icebergs of the Antarctic.
