The Untold Story of Captain James Cook RN

Revelations of a Historical Researcher

About this book

The explosive findings within this book are history-changing. They discount the age-oldbelief that Captain James Cook, the great circumnavigator, left no modern direct descendants.Using compelling, detailed and verifiable evidence, Colin Waters completely unravels, for thefirst time, the full fascinating story concerning the mysterious supposed 18th centurydrowning of his son, James Cook junior. The author also presents genealogical evidence tosupport old rumours that after faking his own death, James traveled to North Yorkshirewhere he joined his wife & son, leaving behind him a scandal that resulted in him beingvirtually expunged from all official naval records. The Royal Navy cover-up that resultedmatches any modern-day conspiracy theory and gives credence to all those who today claimto be direct descendants of the famous Captain James Cook R.N.
