“Historian Andrew Lambert went on a modern day voyage to Australia, on a replica of Captain Cook’s ship Endeavour. Although those who served on the ship found some elements of this image convincing, they recognised that they should not allow their delicate 21st century sensibilities to cloud their judgement. Their first contact with the alternative world of Captain Cook was the food. A diet of salt meat, hard biscuit and sauerkraut was a shock to them, but their predecessors would have considered it superior to anything available on shore.
