A piece of history

James Cook (1728-1779), a farmer’s son, joined the English Navy and attracted attention through outstanding cartographic work. His abilities as a cartographer, as well as an astronomer, enabled him to enter the service of the Royal Society, the oldest scientific society in the United Kingdom.
