What is James Cook contribution to Oceanography?
James Cook (not yet a Captain but still a Lieutenant at the time he sailed to Australia) is sometimes wrongly credited with being the one who discovered Australia, but this is not the case as the continent was discovered over 150 years before Cook arrived.
Cook sailed up the eastern coast in 1770, and claimed the eastern half of Australia as New South Wales. He had a very favourable response to Australia, unlike his predecessor William Dampier, in 1688. Cook believed that the east coast of Australia would be suitable for colonisation, and he and Sir Joseph Banks recommended the region of Botany Bay as suitable for a convict settlement.
When was Captain Cook's third voyage?
On Captain Cook's first journey, departing in 1768, he commanded the 'Endeavour' on an expedition to chart the transit of Venus. Cook went on to search for Terra Australis Incognita, the great continent which some believed to extend round the pole. He first came across New Zealand, which had already been discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642. He spent some months there, charting the coastline. Nearly a year later, he set sail east, becoming the first known European to sight the Eastern coast of Australia, in April 1770. He continued north, charting the coast in some detail, before returning a favourable report to England. It was this report which convinced the authorities to colonise the Australian continent with convicts. On Cook's second journey which lasted from 1772-1775, he commanded the 'Resolution' and the 'Adventure' on an expedition to the South Pacific, disproving the rumour of a great southern continent, exploring the Antarctic Ocean, New Hebrides and New Caledonia. On his third journey, commencing in 1776, 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.
