  • Born in Yorkshire, England, he is best known for his voyages in circumnavigating the globe. The son of a day laborer, he went to sea as an apprentice on a coal ship while a teenager. In time, he joined the British Navy and rose up in the ranks. It is his first voyage that is particularly celebrated. Ostensibly he was supposed to find find the fabled Terra Australis Incognita. Instead he demonstrated that it couldn't possibly exist. Had it not been for the ice floes getting in the way, he might have been the first to set foot on Antarctica. Instead he became the first European to find and describe Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and numerous other Pacific Islands.
