“The son of a farm labourer, James Cook (1728–1779) wasborn at Marton in Yorkshire. In 1747 he was apprenticedto James Walker, a shipowner and master mariner of

Whitby, and for several years sailed in colliers in theNorth Sea, English Channel, Irish Sea and Baltic Sea. In1755 he volunteered for service in the Royal Navy and wasappointed an able seaman on HMS Eagle. Within two years he was promoted to the rank of master and in 1758he sailed to North America on HMS Pembroke. Hissurveys of the St Lawrence River, in the weeks before the

capture of Quebec, established his reputation as anoutstanding surveyor. In 1763 the Admiralty gave him thetask of surveying the coast of Newfoundland andsouthern Labrador. He spent four years on HMSGrenville, recording harbours and headlands, shoals androcks, and also observed an eclipse of the sun in 1766.”

“In May 1768 Cook was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and given command of the barkEndeavour. He was instructed to sail to Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus in 1769 and also toascertain whether a continent existed in the southern latitudes of the Pacific Ocean. The

expedition, which included a party of scientists and artists led by Joseph Banks, left Plymouth in August 1768 and sailed to Brazil and around Cape Horn, reaching Tahiti in April 1769. After theastronomical observations were completed, Cook sailed south to 40°S, but failed to find anyland. He then headed for New Zealand, which he circumnavigated, establishing that there weretwo principal islands. From New Zealand he sailed to New Holland, which he first sighted in April 1770. He charted the eastern coast, naming prominent landmarks and collecting manybotanical specimens at Botany Bay. The expedition nearly ended in disaster when theEndeavour struck the Great Barrier Reef, but it was eventually dislodged and was careened andrepaired at Endeavour River. From there it sailed around Cape York through Torres Strait toBatavia, in the Dutch East Indies. In Batavia and on the last leg of the voyage one-third of thecrew died of malaria and dysentery. Cook and the other survivors finally reached England in July1771.”

“In 1772 Cook, who had been promoted to the rank of captain, led a new expedition to settleonce and for all the speculative existence of the Great Southern Continent by ‘prosecuting yourdiscoveries as near to the South Pole as possible’. The sloops Resolution and Adventure, the

latter commanded by Tobias Furneaux, left Sheerness in June 1772 and sailed to Cape Town. The ships became separated in the southern Indian Ocean and the Adventure sailed along thesouthern and eastern coasts of Van Diemen’s Land before reuniting with the Resolution atQueen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand. The ships explored the Society and Friendly Islandsbefore they again became separated in October 1773. The Adventure sailed to New Zealand, where 10 of the crew were killed by Maori, and returned to England in June 1774. TheResolution sailed south from New Zealand, crossing the Antarctic Circle and reaching 71°10’S,further south than any ship had been before. It then traversed the southern Pacific Ocean, visiting Easter Island, Tahiti, the Friendly Islands, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, NorfolkIsland and New Zealand. In November 1774 Cook began the homeward voyage, sailing toChile, Patagonia, Terra del Fuego, South Georgia and Cape Town. The expedition reachedEngland in July 1775.”
