Who was Captain Cook?

Have you ever wondered what it takes to map an ocean that covers almost one-third of the entire planet? Hop aboard the Endeavour with Mira and Finn as they explore the incredible true story of Captain James Cook! Born in a tiny mud-walled cottage, James taught himself to read the stars and became one of history's greatest navigators. You won't believe how this poor farm boy from England ended up exploring the vast Pacific Ocean! Discover how Cook and his crew of 94 men squeezed onto a tiny, flat-bottomed coal ship to sail to places like New Zealand, Hawaii, and the coast of Australia. Hear the heart-pounding tale of the dark night their ship smashed right into the Great Barrier Reef—and how they used a disgusting trick involving sheep poop to plug the hole and save their lives! Plus, learn the secret to how 7,000 pounds of pickled cabbage stopped a terrifying sailor's disease called scurvy, and meet Tupaia, the genius Polynesian navigator who could sail thousands of miles without a single map. It's an ocean-sized adventure you absolutely don't want to miss!
