@YorkshireMuseum Even better than a #BestCat of the feline variety, we give you this Whitby CAT! Cook's ships were Whitby built, solid and heavy-bottomed intended to carry Coal and Timber. The kids love this model of 'Resolution'!

Doesn't get much more dramatic than that @WhitbyAbbey ! Looking forward to welcoming everyone back--wind, rain or shine the abbey has stood by the town and welcomed all since 657AD! – at Whitby, England

“Look at this elegantly curved, yes CURVED, door in our late C17th building. Made by craftsmen who were used to bending timber for ship building

This globe, created in 1541 by cartographer Gerard Mercator, is one of the treasures of our collection. As we're closed, we wanted you to explore it from home.

Seven items from the @CptCookMuseum in Whitby UK have been on display at Canberra’s @nlagovau. Whitby is where James Cook did his apprenticeship in 1746. He visited the town, as a celebrity, in 1771 after his first voyage to the Pacific. #CookAndThePacific
