Cook's official diaries were thorough in in their scientific detail but revealed nothing about the man himself. Innes proposes that Cook wrote a second, more personal diary for his own thoughts and fears which he kept from the public and which has since disappeared. This last voyage was an attempt to find the northwest passage across the north of America, the existence of which Cook doubted. Here is the record of life at sea, life as a captain, the demands of disciplining a crew and the myriad problems of sailing a small ship such vast distances.
