Read the accounts of the voyages of Captain Cook from the 1700s. And
never forget the whaling ships etc of the 1800s whose crews visited
many ports in the South Pacific, so to speak. Most of these men were
from the British Isles. Other earlier and later expeditions may have
been from other countries.
