James Cook

Captain James Cook enlisted scientists on his voyages to record the vegetation. On the original voyage of discovery, several new species were found. These included New Zealand Flax, Eucalyptus, Grevillia, Callistemon. Mimosa and Dillenea. After running into a reef on their way back home, they were forced to wait several weeks prior to resuming the voyage. At this time, Banksia, Moreton Bay Pine and Hibiscus were discovered.

because the whole voyage was a great endeavour

New Zealand's highest mountain was originally named Mt Cook by Captain John Lort Stokes in honour of James Cook, who was the first European to circumnavigate New Zealand in 1770, though he did not sight the mountain.

Mt Cook's indigenous name is Aorangi, or Aoraki, which means "Cloud Piercer" in the Ngāi Tahu dialect of the Māori language.

Thomas James - sea captain - was born in 1593.

"Do just once what others say you can't do,and you will never pay attention to their limitations again."

James Cook did not conquer any land. He circumnavigated New Zealand and landed on Australia's eastern coast, claiming both countries for England, but he neither discovered nor conquered these two lands.

No.

When James Cook set off in 1768 on his famous journey in which he ultimately charted the coasts of New Zealand and eastern Australia, he was accompanied by a goat. This little-known breed of goat, the Arapawa, provided milk for the sailors during the entire time, and survived the voyage of the Endeavour, to return to England in 1771.

It was English captain Matthew Flinders who had a cat, "Trim", that went with him on his sea voyages.

James Cook's original mission was to observe the transit of Venus from the vantage point of Tahiti.

Cook was then under secret orders to try to find the great unknown southern continent, and claim it for Britain. In so doing, he charted the eastern coastline of what he called "New South Wales" (now Australia), making extensive notes on the people, flora, fauna and prospective suitability for colonisation, and reported back to England.

James Cook (still a lieutenant at this stage) discovered and named Botany Bay on Australia's east coast in April 1770.

There does not seem to be any record of Captain James Cook having a pet on board his ship. When still a Lieutenant, and on his first expedition, he took a goat for the purpose of providing fresh milk.

On Cook's second voyage, the "Resolution" had a crew of 110 and the "Adventure" commanded by Furneaux had a crew of 80. Captain James Cook was the first to cross the Antarctic Circle on the 17th of January, 1773, and reached a latitude of 67 degrees 15 minutes S. It is not clear whether or not he actually set eyes on Antarctica since the ice pack prevented any further southward progress. In January, 1820, as a result of an earlier expedition where he was blown off course, the British Royal Navy sent William Smith as pilot with Edward Bransfield to search the waters south of the newly claimed South Shetland Islands. It is subsequently claimed that they are the first to see the Antarctic Peninsula. On the 27th of January, 1820, Russian, Fabian Gottlieb von Bellinghausen, becomes the first person to see the Antarctic continent. In January,1821, Bellingshausen returns to the Antarctic and completes a circumnavigation of Antarctica being only the second explorer, after Cook, to do so. In February, American sealer John Davis arguably becomes the first person to land on the Antarctic continent. A Norwegian scientist immigrant to Australia, Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink (1864-1934), became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic when he stepped on to Cape Adare on the 24th of January, 1895. From 1894-95 he devoted his time to exploration of Antarctica. He attempted to reach the South Pole in 1897. During this expedition, he was the first to discover lichen in the Antarctic, and reached a latitude of 78 degrees 5 minutes S.

Captain James Cook weighed 95 kilograms without also all his suits on and 105 with all his suits on!

The first European to explore New Zealand, circumnavigating the islands between October 1769 and February 1770, was Captain James Cook. He did not discover New Zealand, as that was done by Abel Tasman in 1642.
