On this day in 1728, Captain James Cook was born ๐Ÿงญ Born in Marton-in-Cleveland, right here in North Yorkshire, the son of a Scottish farm labourer. He grew up in Great Ayton, took his first apprenticeship with a Whitby ship owner and went on to chart more of the world's coastline than any explorer before him. New Zealand, Australia's east coast, the Hawaiian Islands and vast stretches of the Pacific. A farmer's son from the Yorkshire countryside who ended up redrawing the map of the world ๐ŸŒ
