Final Days of Captain Cook

The violent death of Captain James Cook, British explorer, on a Hawaiian beach in 1779 has become the stuff of legend. Should we believe the story that's been handed down? How should we remember a man who means so many different things to so many different people?

Anthony Delaney tells Maddy Pelling the story of the Final Days of Captain Cook.

Edited by Tomos Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick and Charlotte Long.
