About me / Bio:
James Cook was a British explorer, cartographer and naval officer who made three voyages to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779. He was the first European to contact the eastern coast of Australia, the Hawaiian Islands and the first to circumnavigate New Zealand. He also explored the coasts of Canada, Alaska and the Antarctic region. He was renowned for his skills in navigation, surveying, cartography and leadership. He also introduced new methods of preventing scurvy and other diseases among his crew. He was killed by Hawaiians during a dispute over a stolen boat in Kealakekua Bay on February 14, 1779. His legacy includes numerous geographical features, scientific discoveries, maps and memorials named after him. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest explorers in history.
