In 1769, two ships set out in search of a missing continent. That Christmas, in New Zealand waters, the two captains were almost within sight of each other, though neither knew of the other's existence. This is the story of the rival ships and the men who sailed in them, their daily lives and thoughts, and the hardships they experienced.
