In episode 30 of Voyage 2 Go History, the crew of the HMS Resolution says farewell to Raiatea and begins a new chapter of exploration.
In Episode 31, we follow Georg Forster and the crew of HMS Resolution as they explore ʻEua, an island in present-day Tonga.
In episode 32 of the journey aboard the HMS Resolution, Georg Forster and Captain Cook explore the island of Tongatapu in the Friendly Islands.
After months of abundance and warmth among the tropical islands of the Pacific, the 33rd episode of our journey marks a turning point: the Resolution leaves Tongatapu and heads back toward the southern latitudes of New Zealand.
In June 1774, off the shores of present-day Tonga, the HMS Resolution glides between reefs and low coral islands, welcomed with fruit, laughter, and chants of “Wòa”—friend. But beneath the surface of peaceful trade, misunderstandings fester. One stolen hatchet becomes the spark for a violent clash, testing the limits of trust between Europeans and Polynesians.
After leaving the fertile coral island of Namocka, Cook and Forster sail into volcanic mists and human silences. What begins as bounty ends in acid rain, and a year of new discoveries begins.
