About the author
David Samwell
1751–1798
A Welsh naval surgeon, poet, and close observer of the age of exploration, he is best remembered for sailing with Captain James Cook on the final voyage. His writing preserves both the human side of life at sea and one of the most important firsthand accounts of Cook’s death.
