No. However: st Tahiti, Cook was joined by a Tahitian chief named Tupaia, who wanted to travel, together with his boy-servant Tayeto. When Cook was circumnavigating New Zealand's North Island, a group of Māori in a canoe came alongside the Endeavour, and negotiated a trade of fresh fish. As Tayeto made his way to the canoe to accept the fish, he was grabbed by the Māori, who paddled off quickly with him. Cook's crew fired on the canoe, killing one Māori. Tayeto leapt overboard and was picked up by the Endeavour. Because of this event, Cook named the area Kidnapper's Bay.

No, Captain James Cook did not kidnap anyone at Cape Kidnappers. The name "Cape Kidnappers" was given by Cook in reference to an attempted kidnapping by local Maori people of a Tahitian boy who was aboard his ship, the Endeavour. Cook and his crew successfully defended the boy and named the cape as a remembrance of the incident.

However, he believed the Cape to be part of New Guinea, from whence he crossed the Arafura Sea. In 1616, Dutch sea-captain Dirk Hartog sailed too far whilst trying out Henderik Brouwer's recently discovered route from the Cape of Good Hope to Batavia, via the Roaring Forties.
