James Cook: How A Farm Boy Became An Iconic Explorer
Before he was the legendary explorer who mapped the Pacific, James Cook was a humble farm boy from Yorkshire with a restless spirit. In this documentary, we retrace Cook’s footsteps from his childhood cottage to the bustling port of Whitby. Discover how a chance encounter in a village shop and an apprenticeship on a "Whitby Cat" coal ship provided the rigorous training he needed to command the Royal Navy’s most ambitious expeditions.
