Description

James Cook FRS RN was an English explorer, navigator and cartographer, ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made three voyages to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779, during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand.

His first voyage was in HM Bark Endeavour, and the following two voyages in the bigger HMS Resolution.

This statue is in Victoria Square, Christchurch, NZ.
