James Cook was a successful captain because he was one of the first to introduce a diet that enabled his men to avoid the dreaded "scurvy", literally the scourge of sailors at that time.
He was also successful because the journeys he undertook were ambitious, extending around the world in a time when long sea journeys could be very hazardous. On these journeys, he mapped and named many new features and added considerably to the knowledge of the continents and major islands.
