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:

  • Running aground on the Great Barrier Reef
  • Being attacked by hostile natives
  • Dealing with restricted supplies and limited resources

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.
