James Cook

James Cook did not discover New Zealand, just as he did not discover Australia. New Zealand was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642. Cook circumnavigated New Zealand in 1769.

Cook's only discovery of previously unknown lands was Hawaii, which he named the Sandwich Islands.

James Cook was an English navigator and in 1768-71 commanded the Endeavour sailing from Yorkshire. He circumnavigated and charted New Zealand, the east coast of Australia and New Guinea and taken possession of them for England. The voyage was completed through Java and the Cape of Good Hope. He also discovered how far Antarctic stretched northward. He visited Tahiti and New Hebrides and discovered New Caledonia. In January of 1779 he discovered Hawaii and was killed by the natives on the island. He did more than any other navigator to add to the knowledge of the Pacific and Southern Ocean.

I Don't Think So.

He was looking for the North-West passage; a way of getting from the Pacific to the Atlantic round the North of North America. He didn't find it because, although the thing is possible (just), its course varies from year to year, it's only open for a few weeks - even days - a year, and you really need an icebreaker with a good engine to do it. Roald Amundsen was the first through, but it took him two whole summers(1903-1906). Climate change is now opening up the passage on a more regular basis, but it will have to go on for many years before there are commercial possibilities. Oddly enough, in recent years the pasage has been made by a section of the famous flotilla of plastic ducks which is still wandering the oceans of the world.

Killed 14th. Feb.1779. Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii, where his remains were formally buried at sea

He was born on the 7 November 1728, in the village of Marton in Yorkshire. England. He died on the 14 February 1779, on the shores of Kealakekua Bayon the big island of Hawaii.

Aboriginal occupation notwithstanding, James Cook did not find Australia. This is a common misconception.

The first non-Aboriginal people to visit Australia were the Malay and Indian traders, from the Indonesian islands. They collected sea slugs from the Australian coast to trade with china, where the slugs were a prized delicacy.

The first European to come across Australia was the Dutch Captain, William Jansz, who sighted Australia in 1606 and explored the Gulf of Carpentaria. However, he did not realise he had landed on a new continent, and believed it to be part of New Guinea. Dutch maps reflected this error for many years. Jansz was followed by fellow countrymen Dirk Hartog (1616) and Abel Tasman (1642).

The first Englishman to arrive on Australian shores was William Dampier, in 1688, and he was so unimpressed that his report put off England for another seventy years. Captain Cook was on a scientific expedition to observe the transit of Venus from Tahiti when he continued west, coming across New Zealand and then continuing on until he reached the Australian mainland and charted the Eastern coast, in 1770.

Yes he did

James Cook was sent to observe the transit of Venus in 1769. Apart from observing and recording this phenomenon, Cook's exploration was strictly earthbound.

finding Hawaii and the pacific ocean

There were no issues or wars between James Cook and the Australian Aborigines.

Following Cook's first voyage of exploration, the Endeavour was used for ferrying Navy supplies to the Falkland Islands. After being sold to a private enterprise in 1775, the Endeavour was purposely scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay at Rhode Island in 1778, during the American Revolution. The precise whereabouts of the wreckage of the Endeavour are unknown, but several items were salvaged from the ship, and are on display in various maritime museums around the world. A replica of the Endeavour is displayed in the Australian National Maritime Museum at Sydney Harbour, Australia.

James Cook visited New Zealand between October 1769 and February 1770. During this time, he circumnavigated and charted the North and South Islands.

The ship that discovered Australia was called the Duyfken and came from Holland. This Dutch vessel sighted Australia's coast in 1606.

There were six children Elizabeth, Joseph, George, Nathaniel, Hugh and James

When James Cook came across New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia in 1770, he was commanding the HMS Bark Endeavour.

It was Sir Joseph Banks who actually was the first European to make notes on the kangaroo. Banks travelled with James Cook on the Endeavour.

He didn't. James Cook named the eastern coast of Australia New South Wales because the terrain and general appearance of the countryside reminded him of southern Wales.

Given that James Cook did not discover Australia, the answer is "no".

However, James Cook's exploration of the east coast made a significant change to people's lives. Convicts were sent from England's overcrowded jails to New South Wales. This changed the lives of the convicts, the officers and marines sent to guard them, and the lives of the Australian Aborigines.

Well...He discovered Hawaii in Hawaii, but if you mean when the in was in 1778

It's believed to be on the seabed of Narragansett Bay (Rhode Island). Attempts have been made to verify this, but too little evidence exists. In 2006, it was decided to not raise the wreck believed to be the Bark Endeavour.

James Cook only travelled to New Zealand and Australia once.
