A rare post from me but thought this was worthy of a shout out. Completed the York Sportive cycling 75 miles yesterday, final preparations for next week’s cycling trip!
Born in Marton in Middlesbrough, schooled in Great Ayton in N Yorks, learnt his seafaring skills in Whitby & became one of the worlds’ great explorers & circumnavigators!!
On this day in 1770, (19th April) 256 years ago, Captain James Cook first sighted the east coast of Australia aboard the Endeavour.
A master navigator and a man of rare discipline, Cook charted vast stretches of the unknown with precision and nerve, pushing further than most would dare. His voyages opened up the Pacific, strengthened Britain’s standing in the world, and left a lasting mark on history.
A fearless English explorer, steady, capable, and resolute. One of our greatest sons. 🏴 🇬🇧 🇦🇺
