    James Cook was a famous 18th century explorer who joined the British navy at age 27. He soon proved himself a skilled sailor and was given command of his own ship. In 1768, the Royal Society asked Cook to command HMS Endeavour on a voyage to Tahiti and bring scientists aboard. The voyage lasted three years as Cook made discoveries, including realizing that having his sailors eat fresh fruit prevented terrible illnesses caused by a bad diet. Cook was the first European to map New Zealand and eastern Australia. He also mapped the Pacific islands. In 1779, Cook died in a fight in Hawaii.
