What was an important technology that James Cook used?

Answer 1

James Cook used a variety of navigational technology to accurately determine his position. The technology he would have used for charting his route would have been standard hydrographic survey equipment of the time, to make accurate nautical charts. He used a chronometer, by which he calculated is longitudinal position.

Because his first journey was a scientific mission - to observe the transit of Venus - he would have used a telescope and other technology required for making observations of astronomy.

Note that even a simple ink pen, or pencil and paper is "technology". Like any responsible explorer, Cook make extensive notes on what he observed, as well as detailed sketches.

Answer 2

During Cook's second voyage he used the Larcum Kendall K1 chronometer, which enabled Cook to calculate his longitudinal position with much greater accuracy. Cook's log was full of praise for the watch and the charts of the southern Pacific Ocean he made with its use were remarkably accurate - so much so that copies of them were still in use in the mid-20th century.
