Captain Cook

Captain cook was the first person to map Australia and New Zealand, he mapped one of the most safest places in the world and one of the most dangerous the dangerous one is Australia but the safe one was New Zealand. Captain cook died by getting killed by a Hawaiian. Captain cook's name is James cook and he was born in 7 November 1728 and he died in 14 February 1779 and he died when he was aged fifty if he did not get killed by the Hawaiian he would live about ten years later. When captain cook left Hawaii he had to go back because his ship broke down and he needed repairs but then he got killed by a Hawaiian. Some people created a replica of captain cook's ship. Captain cook was British and he went all the way to Australia and New Zealand that would take more than about two days.

Captain cook found out how to cure scurvy. Scurvy is a sickness that you get if you don't eat fruits and vegetables because you don't have enough vitamin C. This is what happens, your skin gets a lot of little bruises and rashes then you get a huge rash and then it turns to a huge bruise. Scurvy sometimes hurts you gums and then you won't want to eat because it hurts a lot.  the way to cure it is eat fruits or vegetables. Captain cook fed his crew some fruit and that's why none of them got the sickness. Everyone thought that Australia was tiny until captain cook mapped it. Captain cook has a lot of statues because he was really famous. Captain cook was born in England. Captain cook had seven children and that is a lot of children. Captain cook saw some of the seven years war.

Australia's population was about one thousand before captain cook mapped it but later when he mapped the population became about two point million. Captain cook was killed for a religious reason. Captain cook went around the Pacific Ocean. Captain cook traveled really far because he went to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia. Captain Cook made a little bit of mistakes. Captain cook was an amazing sailor. He was lucky that he was the captain of the ship because if the captain was one of his crew members they might fail and they might get killed earlier. Captain cook was named after his father because some parents like naming their children their name. Captain Cook also made one of his children his named after him weird right. Captain cook joined the merchant navy when he was a teenager and then he joined the royal navy when he was twenty seven that means he was a adult when he joined the royal navy.

Sailors and pirates almost always got scurvy in the old days. Not only people get scurvy but animals also get it. Almost nobody gets scurvy any more. When you have scurvy, sometimes your teeth comes out because it can infect your gums too and that makes you not want to eat because you have no teeth and your gums hurts a lot so you won't want to have scurvy. Captain cook's ship was called the HMS Endeavour. Captain cooks ship had a shipwreck in a reef and the reef is called the Endeavour reef it was named after his ship and a river was also named after the ship. The river was called the Endeavour river. Captain cook's journey was two years. The Endeavour reef was in the great barrier reef. The replica of the Endeavour was done when it was on the sixteenth of April nineteen ninety four and the replica is not destroyed yet.
