James Cook James Cook was born in the Yorkshire village of Marton on October 27, 1728. His first experience at sea came at the age of 18 when he signed on as a deckhand aboard a Whitby collier carrying coal to London. He became an accomplished mathematician in his spare time and was actually offered a command of his own ship but refused and joined the Royal Navy as a seaman. His talents were soon recognized and after two years he became master of his own ship, the PEMBROKE , and was ordered to chart the waters of the St. Lawrence River in Canada. His work was masterful and the Admiralty recalled him to England and placed him in command of the ENDEAVOUR which was to take a number of scientists to the Pacific Ocean for observance of Venus. The ENDEAVOUR departed England in 1768 and after visiting Tahiti the following year he discovered New Zealand and claimed it for Great Britain. Sailing west, in 1770 he sighted the east coast of Australia. From here he sailed north and on August 22 he claimed the whole of eastern Australia as a British possession. The ENDEAVOUR returned to England in 1771 having added significantly to Britain's potential empire in the Pacific.

The explorer Captain James Cook Learn about the history of the explorer Captain James Cook, and the three major voyages of discovery he embarked upon. James Cook was born in Marton, England, in 1728. In his formative years, he worked for his father as a labourer on his farm, but it wasnt long before the call of the sea enticed him away from dry land. By the age of eighteen he was discovering his sea legs aboard a coal transport ship, traditionally the type of boat that sailors used to learn their trade upon. bodyOffer(23456) In 1755 he enlisted as an Able Seaman aboard the Eagle, and such was his ability as a sailor that he was quickly promoted to Masters Mate. In 1759, after being promoted once more to the rank of Master, James Cook set about charting the waters in and around Newfoundland, including the St. Lawrence River. He did this meticulously and unerringly for a period of eight years. To get an idea how accurate his charts were, consider that they were still being used in the early part of the twentieth century. It had been suggested that by measuring the transit of Venus (how long it took for Venus to pass over the sun, a rare occurrence), one could work out how far the earth was from the Sun. The aristocracy of England were eager to find this out, and so commissioned a voyage to the South Pacific to carry out this task. Captain James Cook was chosen to command the Endeavour, and he was also instructed to explore as much of the South Pacific along the way. He set off in 1768, discovering such places as Tahiti, New Zealand and Eastern Australia. Although the voyage was considered a success, the crew suffered a 43% fatality rate, mainly caused by disease. Cook took note of this and implemented a new diet, including as much fresh food as possible.

Cook's first journey lasted from August 26,1768 to July 13, 1771, when he sailed to Tahiti on the Endeavor in order to observe Venus as it passed between the Earth and the Sun. He was also searching for a large, southern continent that was thought to exist (but does not). Many scientists accompanied him on the voyage, including the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks. During this expedition, he sailed from Dover, England, to Brazil, around Cape Horn (the southern tip of South America), and to Tahiti (April 11, 1769), where he stayed for months in order to observe the

Print entire article The early years The three major voyages of discovery of Captain James Cook provided his European masters with unprecedented information about the Pacific Ocean, and about those who lived on its islands and shores. His achievements were the more remarkable because of his humble origins in an agricultural labouring family, from Marton, North Yorkshire. '... he intended to go not only 'farther than any man has been before me, but as far as I think it possible for man to go'.' Cook first went to sea at the age of 18. He spent ten years working in the coal trade of the east coast of England - with its shoreline of treacherous, shifting shoals, uncharted shallows, and difficult harbours. In 1755 he joined the Royal Navy, and within two years passed his master's examination to qualify for the navigation and handling of a royal ship. He gained surveying experience in North American waters during the Seven Years War - as Britain and France fought for supremacy in North America - and spent the first years of peace between 1763 and 1767 charting the fog-shrouded coastline of Newfoundland.

Captain James Cook (1728 - 1779) is a good candidate for the title of greatest explorer in history. He was impressive both for the scope of his travels and the meticulous detail with which he noted his discoveries. Besides being a great explorer, he was very enlightened for his time, showing a high degree of regard for both his own crew and for the various peoples and cultures he encountered. He was a native of Yorkshire, England. After being apprenticed to a shipping family aged 17 he learnt his trade of sailing and navigation. Later, joining the Royal Navy, he was sent to North America where he was put to work surveying and mapping the St Lawrence River, and he quickly became well-known in the navy for the accuracy and detail of his work.

Whitby-built ships were used on all the voyages. The vessels had large holds for storing the massive amounts of supplies needed for a long voyage and were flat-bottomed so that they could be beached for repairs. Omai: The Noble Savage In 1774 Omai, of the island of Huahine near Tahiti, became the first South Sea islander seen in Britain. He became the darling of society until he returned home in 1776. Cook accurately surveyed and charted many areas in the Pacific for the first time, providing successive travellers with reliable navigational information. Many of the locations visited by Cook were extremely beautiful and awe-inspiring. The artists on the voyages recorded both the natural and man-made environments. Thousands of newly-discovered plants and animals were recorded and specimens collected for study back in Britain. Transit of Venus In 1768 Cook led an expedition to Tahiti to observe the Transit of Venus across the face of the sun. He reported his findings to the Royal Society on his return. Objects Many artefacts made and used by native peoples, from jewellery to boats, clothing to weapons, were recorded and examples collected to be taken back to Britain.
