Coast: The Explorers' Coast

SINOPSIS

The team examines stories connected to explorers. In Cornwall Nick Crane examines 18th-century artist William Daniell's 10-year mission to produce illustrations for a book, takes to the sea in a replica of the UK's oldest-known boat and tells the tale of the first sailor to circumnavigate Britain some 2,400 years ago. Mark Horton reveals how Scotsman Lachlan Macquarie laid the foundations for the nation of Australia, while Tessa Dunlop discovers how the Pilgrim Fathers created the archetypal American celebration of Thanksgiving from a tradition they encountered in Holland.
