The 2nd Voyage of Captain James Cook

Captain James Cook
“The son of a farm labourer, James Cook (1728–1779) was
born at Marton in Yorkshire. In 1747 he was apprenticed
to James Walker, a shipowner and master mariner of
Whitby, and for several years sailed in colliers in the
North Sea, English Channel, Irish Sea and Baltic Sea. In
1755 he volunteered for service in the Royal Navy and was
appointed an able seaman on HMS Eagle. Within two
years he was promoted to the rank of master and in 1758
he sailed to North America on HMS Pembroke. His
surveys of the St Lawrence River, in the weeks before the
capture of Quebec, established his reputation as an
outstanding surveyor. In 1763 the Admiralty gave him the
task of surveying the coast of Newfoundland and
southern Labrador. He spent four years on HMS
Grenville, recording harbours and headlands, shoals and
rocks, and also observed an eclipse of the sun in 1766.”

 Captain James Cook
The First Voyage
(1768 - 1771)

“In May 1768 Cook was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and given command of the bark
Endeavour. He was instructed to sail to Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus in 1769 and also to
ascertain whether a continent existed in the southern latitudes of the Pacific Ocean. The
expedition, which included a party of scientists and artists led by Joseph Banks, left Plymouth in
August 1768 and sailed to Brazil and around Cape Horn, reaching Tahiti in April 1769. After the
astronomical observations were completed, Cook sailed south to 40°S, but failed to find any
land. He then headed for New Zealand, which he circumnavigated, establishing that there were
two principal islands. From New Zealand he sailed to New Holland, which he first sighted in
April 1770. He charted the eastern coast, naming prominent landmarks and collecting many
botanical specimens at Botany Bay. The expedition nearly ended in disaster when the
Endeavour struck the Great Barrier Reef, but it was eventually dislodged and was careened and
repaired at Endeavour River. From there it sailed around Cape York through Torres Strait to
Batavia, in the Dutch East Indies. In Batavia and on the last leg of the voyage one-third of the
crew died of malaria and dysentery. Cook and the other survivors finally reached England in July
1771.”

 Captain James Cook
The Second Voyage
(1772 - 1775)

“In 1772 Cook, who had been promoted to the rank of captain, led a new expedition to settle
once and for all the speculative existence of the Great Southern Continent by ‘prosecuting your
discoveries as near to the South Pole as possible’. The sloops Resolution and Adventure, the
latter commanded by Tobias Furneaux, left Sheerness in June 1772 and sailed to Cape Town.
The ships became separated in the southern Indian Ocean and the Adventure sailed along the
southern and eastern coasts of Van Diemen’s Land before reuniting with the Resolution at
Queen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand. The ships explored the Society and Friendly Islands
before they again became separated in October 1773. The Adventure sailed to New Zealand,
where 10 of the crew were killed by Maori, and returned to England in June 1774. The
Resolution sailed south from New Zealand, crossing the Antarctic Circle and reaching 71°10’S,
further south than any ship had been before. It then traversed the southern Pacific Ocean,
visiting Easter Island, Tahiti, the Friendly Islands, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Norfolk
Island and New Zealand. In November 1774 Cook began the homeward voyage, sailing to
Chile, Patagonia, Terra del Fuego, South Georgia and Cape Town. The expedition reached
England in July 1775.”
