Captain James Cook James Cook was born in the village of Marton, Yorkshire on 27 October 1728 (7 November in the Gregorian calendar), one of five children of Scottish migrant farm labourer James Cook and his Yorkshire wife Grace.
Cook was the first European to encounter the islands around 1778. Cook was a Captain in the Royal Navy and an explorer. He was born in 1728 in England. Cook went to Hawaii twice and during his second visit there he got into a fight with natives and was killed in 1779. Hawaii is believed to have been named for a famous Polynesian Navigator, Hawaiâloa, who is known by natives as the person to have discovered the islands.
