In 1755, having risen to be a mate, Cook joined the Royal Navy, and after four years' service was, on the recommendation of Sir Hugh Palliser, his commander, appointed master successively of the sloop Grampus, of the Garland and of the Solebay, in the last of which he served in the St. Lawrence.
Tap Bolt vs Cap Screw. What is the difference between a tap bolt and a cap screw? A tap bolt is (typically) a fully threaded hex bolt, while a cap screw is (typically) a hex head bolt that will be installed by turning the head of the bolt (screw) instead of tightening it with a nut.
A: A screw is a fastener that has a ridge or thread encircling the entire length of the device, while a bolt has a smooth shaft and a threaded end. Screws have heads with a depression indicating the type of driver necessary for fastening. Bolt heads are manipulated with a wrench and often have hexagonal designs.
