Not trying to sound cocky,but ppl say that I cared for my crew and the ship more than anyone.Only one crew man died of disease #Wow #blessed

Great memories over the 4 and a half years. We sailed over 65,000 miles which is way more than regular boat excursions. #proud #65K

September 13 1795, Just arrived at Shannon River, Ireland. Sad to be leaving the Discovery. Got 2 head back to London :( #sadface #depressed

Found out that Britain’s at War, Can’t bring the ship in so I'll be leaving the Discovery in Ireland. Can't wait to find the leprechauns. #$

Past by Monterey, San Diego, now sailing south to survey the Mexican coast. Proving again that the Fuca strait isn't an entrance to a sea.

Visited Alta California, Wow that year went fast. On my way to go back up to sandwich islands and spend the winter. #3rdTime #sandwichIsland
