A captain's journal or diary of a voyage is a written record kept by the captain of a ship detailing important events, observations, navigational data, and personal reflections during a voyage. It serves as a historical document and a navigational aid for future reference.
Captain Cook observed the transit of Venus on June 3, 1769. He and his crew embarked on the HMS Endeavour to observe the rare celestial event from the island of Tahiti in the South Pacific. This observation was part of a scientific expedition organized by the Royal Society in England.
Yes, there are several monuments dedicated to Captain Cook around the world. Some notable ones include the Captain Cook Memorial in Kurnell, Australia, which marks the place where Cook first landed in the country, and the Captain Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii, which commemorates his death.

The US peninsula explored by Captain Cook that experienced a tidal wave that destroyed its main port is the Alaska Peninsula. In 1788, Cook sailed along the peninsula and encountered a massive tidal wave that devastated the main port of the area, which is now known as Cook Inlet.
No, Captain James Cook did not kidnap anyone at Cape Kidnappers.

No, Captain Cook, also known as James Cook, is not alive. He died in 1779 during his third voyage in the Pacific Ocean when he was killed by Hawaiian natives in a conflict.
There is no record of Captain Cook's niece being buried in Dubbo Cemetery. His niece, Elizabeth Batts Cook, passed away in 1835 and was buried at St. Andrew's Church in Mitcham, London.

The name of Captain Cook's ship that he sailed on to New Zealand is the HMS Endeavour. It is depicted on the 50-cent coin in New Zealand.
The scientist you are referring to is Sir Joseph Banks. He was a botanist and naturalist who joined Captain Cook on his expedition to the South Pacific on the HMS Endeavour from 1768 to 1771. Banks collected and studied numerous plant and insect specimens during the voyage, making significant contributions to the field of natural history.
No, James Cook is not the mascot for Plymouth Argyle. The official mascot for Plymouth Argyle is a green and white cockerel named "Pilgrim Pete."
Captain Cook's ships, particularly the HMS Endeavour, were equipped with various supplies and equipment for scientific exploration and navigation. This included navigational instruments, maps, charts, scientific tools, including telescopes and microscopes, provisions such as food and water, and trade goods. The ships also carried weapons for defense and negotiation with local populations encountered during the voyages.
Joseph Banks sailed on HMS Endeavour, a British Royal Navy research vessel.

Australia's position in the Olympics and the medal totals have been decreasing each year. Australia need to get back up and win there position in the Olympics to prove that there not wussy's barely winning.
James Cook's third journey was about three years long. It commenced in 1776, and ended on 14 February 1779 when Cook was speared by Hawaiian natives.
One of the scariest things that happened to James Cook during his voyage was the Great Hurricane of 1780. While on their way to the Hawaiian Islands, the HMS Resolution and HMS Discovery encountered the storm in the South Pacific. The storm was so intense that the ships were separated and the crew members were forced to take refuge in the rigging and wait out the storm. The ships were battered by the high winds and waves, and the crew was in danger of being thrown overboard. Fortunately, they managed to survive the storm and reunite with each other the following day.
The crew encountered a few other dangerous events during their voyage, including:
However, the Great Hurricane of 1780 was one of the most intense storms the crew had ever encountered and was the most frightening experience of the entire voyage.
James Cook was sent to Tahiti on a scientific mission to observe the transit of Venus across the sun.
The transit of Venus occurs when the planet Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, and its unlit side can be seen as a small black circle moving across the face of the Sun. Transits of Venus occur in pairs, eight years apart, approximately once every 120 years. Cook's ship, the 'Endeavour', departed England, on 25 August 1768. Cook reached Tahiti in time for his crew and scientists to set up their instrumentation necessary to observe and report on the transit, which occurred on 3 June 1769.
People have lived in the Samoan Islands for over 2,500 years. The first European to discover the Samoan Island was Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen, in 1722.
Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders have been living in the Australian continent for thousands of years. In the 1500s, Europeans knew of the existence of New Guinea and the island of Timor, but the first believed to have found the Australian continent was Portuguese explorer Christovao de Mendonca. Mendonca never returned to portugal, but wreckage believed to have been from his ships was found along the Australian coastline. Other sources suggest the first to sight Australia was actually Gomes de Sequeira, also of Portugal, in 1525. His descriptions of the islands he noted when he was blown off course are believed to be islands off the Northern Territory. There is, however, no real proof of this. Several more Portuguese explorers followed, including Louis de Torres, after whom Torres strait is named. The first to chart any part of the Australian continent was explorer Willem Jansz, in 1616. Willem Jansz/Janszoon was a Dutchman who was seeking new trade routes and trade associates. He became the first recorded European to step foot on Australia's shores on the western shore of Cape York Peninsula, on 26 February 1606. However, he believed the Cape to be part of New Guinea, from whence he crossed the Arafura Sea.
