WHICH ENGLISH EXPLORER SAILED TO EASTER ISLAND AND HAWAII?
James Cook was the son of a poor English farm worker. When he was young, he left home and became a sailor. He studied mathematics and astronomy and became an expert mapmaker. In 1768, Cook sailed a ship, the Endeavour, to the island of Tahiti in the Pacific Ocean. Cook took scientists and artists with him in his voyage. When theyreached Tahiti, they collected plants and animals and drew them.
After his work in Tahiti, Cook opened a letter from the King of England. The king told him to look for another continent. Cook sailed to New Zealand and the coast of Australia. He took these new lands for the king of England and returned with accurate maps of all these places.
Cook went on two more voyages. On the first voyage, hearrived at an island named Easter Island. There were huge stone heads on the island. On his next voyage, he explored the Hawaiian Islands. At first the Hawaiians were very nice to Cook and his men, but they soon got tired of their visitors. Cook left, but six days later his ship had a problem. He returned to Hawaii. While he was in Hawaii, there was a fight and someone killed him.
Two hundred yearslater, a small piece of James Cook’s ship the Endeavour went into space on the U.S. space shuttle also with the name of Endeavour.
