The Captain Cook

Captain Cook's name is James Cook,he was borned in Marton,maybe near the York.Captain Cook levead school when he was twelve.Cook had been a seaman when he was 23.He went to the ship named 'friendship'.In 27 Oct 1757 ,Cook married Elizabeth Batts.
Then Captain Cook began his sail oversea,in 1 Aug 1768 he found New Zealand with the Venus's help.Maybe,Captain Cook was not the first person who sighted New Zealand ,but he was the first man who landed on the island.Then he came back to England after tow years travailed.
Captain Cook found many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time.
I found a map of Captain Cook's travailed line. we can see that Captain Cook had almost travailed all over the world.
