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