Captain James Cook was an honest seaman who, by accident, discovered a new world in the South Pacific Seas. He was looking for the elusive Great Southern Continent, which people at that time believed covered most of the southern hemisphere. Although he failed to find what he was looking for, his discovery of the new land that was really there created quite a stir back home in England.
