James Cook (October 27 [November 7] 1728, Marton, Yorkshire, England - February 14, 1779, the island of Hawaii) was an English naval sailor, explorer, cartographer and discoverer, a member of the Royal Society (1776).[11] and the captain[comm. 1] Royal Navy. He led three round-the-world expeditions to explore the World Ocean. During these expeditions, he made a number of geographical discoveries. He surveyed and mapped little-known and rarely visited parts of Newfoundland and the east coast of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the west coast of North America, the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Thanks to the attention that Cook paid to cartography, many of the maps he compiled had no analogues in their accuracy and accuracy for many decades and served navigators until the second half of the XIX century.
Cook was known for his tolerant and friendly attitude towards the indigenous inhabitants of the territories he visited. He made a kind of revolution in navigation, having learned to successfully fight a dangerous and widespread disease at that time — scurvy. The mortality from it during his voyages was practically reduced to zero. A whole galaxy of famous navigators and explorers took part in his voyages, such as Joseph Banks, William Bligh, George Vancouver, Johann Reinhold and Georg Forster.
