| Captain James Cook, the eighteenth century British explorer, is a principal interest of mine. I have developed several pages about different aspects of his life and his legacy. This page was begun in early 2001 and was last edited in March 2007. |
Two NEW sets of pages, still being worked on, can be seen at:
| Men who sailed with Cook provides background on many of the men who sailed with Cook. | Musters of Cook's ships. |
Other pages include:
| A short biography of Captain James Cook. The text for this short biography is taken from my book, "Captain Cook's world" | Captain Cook Society (CCS). The Captain Cook Society is an International Society for everyone interested in James Cook. It's pages contain a large amount of information about Cook and provide links to other related sites. |
| Captain Cook Bibliography. The pages linked to here aim to list all the books and articles about Cook published since Beddie's work of 1970 (with some overlap). | James Cook in Newfoundland |
| Musters of Cook's ships. | James Cook on HMS Eagle, 1755 to 1756 |
| Captain Cook Museums . A list of museums and libraries holding significant collections relevant to Cook. | Captain Cook Memorials . Listings of statues, monuments, etc to Cook. |
| Captain Cook Gazetteer . A list of places named by or after Captain James Cook and his crew. | Cook Wills. This page contains the text of wills of Captain James Cook, men who sailed with him and others who were associated with him. |
| Captain Cook's world . This book, my first, was published in 2000 by Random House New Zealand and subsequently in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. | The Captain Cook encyclopaedia. This book, my second, was published in 2004 by Chatham Publishing and subsequently in New Zealand, Australia and the United States. |
