1.

The British explorer James Cook was born in the village of Marton, Yorkshire, on 27 October, 1728. But his
family soon moved to another village, called Great Ayton, where Cook spent most of his childhood. 2. As a teenager
James Cook developed a fascination for the sea and travelled to Whitby where he found employment on a coal ship. 3.
While he was serving in the Royal Navy during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), Cook had the command of a ship. 4.
After the war had ended, Cook took command of the vessel Grenville and went to Newfoundland to survey the coasts
there. 5. While he was mapping the coasts of Newfoundland, he observed a solar eclipse off the North American coast. 6.
Cook sent the details to the Royal Society, England's leading scientific organisation, and won their attention. 7. After
Cook had published his observations of the solar eclipse, the Royal Society asked him to lead a scientific expedition to
Tahiti and put him in command of the HMS Endeavour. 8. From Tahiti Cook then went on to explore the South Pacific.
9. He also reached New Zealand, which only the Dutchman Abel Tasman had visited before Cook. 10. After Cook had
mapped New Zealand's complete coastline, he sailed to Australia's east coast. 11. Cook named the area New South Wales
as it reminded him of the south coast of Wales in Great Britain. 12. In 1772, one year after Cook had returned from his
first voyage to the Pacific, the Royal Society hired him for another expedition to find the mythical Terra Australis. 13.
On his journey, Cook discovered several islands and almost went as far as the continent of Antarctica. 14. He made maps
of the South Pacific and proved that Terra Australis did not exist . 15. His third and last voyage for the Royal Society
took him to the west coast of North America where he tried to find a passage between the Atlantic and Pacific. 16. He
could not pass the Bering Strait, however; the ice forced him to return to Hawaii, which he had discovered earlier. 17.
While he and his crew were resting in Hawaii, some Hawaiians stole one of his boats. 18. When cook and his men tried
to get the boat back from the natives, a violent fight broke out in which the natives stabbed James Cook to death.
