Sketch of Cook's Life:
At the age of 13, cook had studied in an elementary school both in Marton and Great Ayton. A year later, Cook had sailed to seas; boarding on whitby, on the ship called 'freelove'. In his hard life of learning, cook had to endure the basics of the sea. Constant fighting with N. sea gales, bad food, and cramped accommodation.

"I considered that watering here would be tedious and attended with great fatigue; that it was now the depth of winter in the Southern hemisphere; that the ship was leaky, and the rudder shook the stern very much"
