| Meer info | Translation of “A Voyage Round the World; but more Particularly to the North-West Coast of America”, London 1789. Dixon also wrote a book about this voyage with the same title. Both men served under Captain Cook. In September 1785 Portlock and Dixon left England and sailed together for most of their three-year voyage. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean, reaching the Falkland Islands in January 1786, and transited Cape Horn to enter the Pacific Ocean. They reached the Hawaiian islands on 24 May and anchored in Kealakekua Bay (where Cook had been killed in 1779), but did not go ashore and proceeded on to what is now Alaska. After two years of plying the waters, Portlock and Dixon departed North America, reaching Macao in November 1788. |
