Antarctic Explorers: 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. [eng] |

Captain Cook
James Cook was born in the village of Marton-in-Cleveland in the North Riding of Yorkshire on October 27, 1728. At the age of eighteen he took his first voyage as an apprentice aboard the collier Freelove. He learned seamanship and navigation working in the coal trade, the so called "nursery of seamen." In 1755 he enlisted in the Royal Navy as an able seaman aboard the 60-gun ship Eagle and was sent to the American coast. While charting the coast of Newfoundland Cook mastered the skills which would earn him his fame later in life. [eng] |

Cook's final voyage began on July 12, 1776. He was aboard the Resolution with a crew of 112. His sister ship was the Discovery with 70 men aboard. The purpose of his third voyage was to find the fabled Northwest Passage. Unlike other explorers who attempted to find this area of the world, Cook attempted a route from the Pacific side. Cook visited some of his favorite islands in the Pacific and made stops in New Zealand and Tahiti. [eng] |

The Truth be Told. Hawaiian Native's Interpretation of Captain James Cook
Richard C. DeStefano. The books by Sahlins and Obeyesekere both express the arrival of the British explorer Captain James Cook to the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. Though the certainty of his arrival is recognized by the two authors, it is his reception as the god Lono that is in question. [eng] |
