James Cook's third journey, commencing in 1776, was when Cook visited and named the Sandwich Islands, now known as Hawaii, and unsuccessfully sought a northwest passage along the coast of North America. On his way back to England, he stopped at Hawaii again. After a boat was stolen by natives, he and his crew had an altercation with the Hawaiians. On 14 February 1779, Cook was speared by Hawaiian natives. This was a tragic end to the career of a noble and courageous explorer.

James Cook's third voyage to Hawaii in 1778 aimed to explore the North Pacific and seek a northern passage to the Pacific Ocean. He also intended to conduct scientific observations and further chart the coasts of North America and the Pacific Islands. This voyage ultimately led to his arrival in Hawaii, where he became the first European to make contact with the islands. Cook's interactions with the Hawaiian people were significant but also set the stage for later European influence and colonization.
