James Cook
James Cook (7 November 1728 – 14 February 1779) was a British explorer, cartographer, the captain of Royal Navy Man O' War, HMS Pembroke, and an unwitting ally of the Templar Order. Cook unknowingly helped the Templars during the Seven Years' War.
Captain Cook later became famous for his voyages and exploration of the Pacific Ocean. He explored and charted most of the islands and their populations, including Australia, Tahiti, New Zealand, Easter island and Hawaii where he was killed by the natives. Cook's image became deified in certain islands including Hawaii itself. He sailed to the Pacific from as early as 1770, roughly knowing the locations of the pacific islands from previous Dutch, French and Portuguese navigators, first dated from the early 16th century onward.
