Alan Day brings the expeditions to life, explaining the desires that drove great sea captains deeper into turbulent water - the longing for caches of spices, silks, and precious metals; the zeal to convert the aborigines to Christianity; the pursuit of natural sciences; and the desire to find a dumping ground for social misfits.
