| | Cook's First Voyage: 1768-1771 |
 | | Cook believed this island to be a part of the mainland, he being too far at sea to identify the narrow water severing the mainland connection. | | | By the end of September, Cook sailed into water with pieces of floating seaweed and other material, as well as sea birds, associated with the presence of land, and concluded landfall was imminent. | | | Cook intended to reach Van Dieman's Land (known now as the island state of Tasmania) where Tasman had left it. |

| | Captain James Cook of Whitby |
| | Cook had very vivid memories of near disaster while sailing through unknown waters and his choice of ships was accepted by the Admiralty who were very conscious of the magnitude of the undertaking. | | | Another attempt was made to find the Northwest Passage, which also failed, and the ships sailed to Petropavlosk where, just offshore, Clerke died of tuberculosis which he had. | | | The story of Cook`s ships after his death is largely one of neglect and indifference. |

| | The Indians got him under water again but he disengaged himself and got his head up once more and not being able to swim he endeavored to scramble on the Rock, when a fellow gave him a blow on the head with a large Club and he was seen alive no more. | | | This web page provides many excerpts from his journals and a wonderful timeline of his first voyage, which clearly defines the dangers faced by Cook and his crew on their voyage around the world. | | | Captain Cook was now the only Man on the Rock, he was seen walking down towards the Pinnace, holding his left hand against the Back of his head to guard it from the Stones and carrying his Musket under the other Arm. |

| | Captain James Cook in Alaska (Part 1) - ExploreNorth |
| | Among the crew of 112 men on the Resolution and another 70 on the Discovery were a total of 35 Royal Marines, and several crew members would later become famous in their own right. | | | Over the previous 280 years, dozens of unsuccessful expeditions had been launched - so important was the discovery of this route that a £20,000 prize had been offered by Britain. | | | Although Cook had been given an honourary shore posting in gratitude for his previous service, and was not initially considered to lead this new expedition, the prize money must surely have been a consideration in his offer on January 9, 1776 to lead the expedition. |

| | He then travelled south again, in a second fruitless attempt to find the supposed continent, bringing with him a young Tahitian named Omai, who proved to be somewhat less knowledgeable about the Pacific than Tupaia had been on the first voyage. | | | Cook's journals were published upon his return and he became somewhat of a hero among the scientific community. | | | Cook became increasingly frustrated on this voyage, and probably began to suffer from a stomach ailment; it is speculated that this led to irrational behaviour towards his crew, such as forcing them to eat walrus meat, which they found inedible. |

| | Cook sailed around to far reaches of the world reaching all seven continents during his lifetime. | | | In his formative years, he worked for his father as a labourer on his farm, but it wasn’t long before the call of the sea enticed him away from dry land. | | | The Seven Years War between Britain and France was going badly for the British on the North American continent, so it was planned to attack the French at Louisburg and Quebec which was the centre of their military power. |

| | Cook was a practical seaman, who understood the importance of vitamin C to maintain the health of his crew, but on his third and final journey, in command of the Resolution, he did not deal so well with the Hawaiians he encountered when he landed on their island. | | | Cook was born in a small village near Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, and learnt his trade in small sailing ships known as 'cats', in which he journeyed up and down the coast from the Tyne to the Thames. | | | Cook remained aloof from the fighting, until one warrior crept up behind him and hit him on the head with a large club. |
