James Cook was a great English navigator and Pacific Ocean expedition leader.
He had not only an outstanding ability in navigation and exploration, but also a real concern for sailor’s health. He carried out compulsory dietary reforms that were copied by many other ship captains. He had led three great Pacific voyages during his life. In his first Pacific voyage in 1769, James Cook rounded Cape Horn, then spent six months charting New Zealand, and finally explored and claimed possession of eastern Australia. In 1772, Captain Cook set sail to look for a “theorized great southern continent”. Although they could not manage to reach the Antarctic owing to the ice, he predicted that if it did exist, it would have to be a wasteland. In 1776, Captain Cook started his third Pacific voyage,
searching for the Northwest Passage from the Pacific
Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, he was
killed in a dispute with Hawaiian natives and his
men’s attempt at the Northwest Passage was
unsuccessful. However, this voyage is still
recognized as especially significant in the history
of the discovery of the west coast of North America.
