Captain Cook circumnavigated the world three times. Neither his children, nor his wife, ever sailed with him. He was killed by Hawaiian natives after an altercation over a boat on 14 February 1779. The botanist Sir Jospeh Banks sailed with Cook on his first journey, as did the Swedish and Finnish botanists Daniel Solander and Dr Herman Spöring. After Cook stopped at Tahiti, he was joined by a Tahitian chief, Tupaia, who wanted to travel, together with his boy-servant Tayeto. On Cook's third voyage, he was killed on the Sandwich islands (now Hawaii) after an altercation with the natives over a stolen boat.
