The Goat Who Sailed Around the World - Twice

from History Dispatches · host Matt and McKinley Breen

In July of 1771, famed naval explorer Captain James Cook returned to England after circumnavigating the world. And he had great praise and admiration for one of his crew - who had completed a second circling of the world. That crew member was a goat - who is only known to history as the Well-Traveled Goat. This is her story.
