	Sandwich Islands
		Sandwich Islands - On his third voyage of discovery, Captain James Cook of Great Britain visited the Hawaiian Islands and named them the Sandwich Islands in honor of his friend and supporter, John Montague, the 4th Earl of Sandwich and first lord of the Admiralty.
		When these islands were discovered the population was about 400,000, but the white man came and brought various complicated diseases, and education, and civilization, and all sorts of calamities, and consequently the population began to drop off with commendable activity.
		Eight of the islands are inhabited, viz., Kauai, Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii.

	Captain Cook
		James Cook was born in the village of Marton-in-Cleveland in the North Riding of Yorkshire on October 27, 1728.
		Cook was given command of the H.M. Bark Endeavour with orders to observe the transit of Venus across the Sun's disk, and also to explore the South Seas (Australia, Antarctica, and the North-West Passage were at this time only legends to European map makers).
		Cook caused his men to wash every day, to air out their hammocks; he used every means at his disposal to force fresh food down their throats: he tried portable soups and spruce beer, he even got his men to eat sauerkraut by serving it to the officer's mess.

	Antarctic Explorers: James Cook
		James Cook was born in the Yorkshire village of Marton on October 27, 1728.
		Cook's skill as a seaman and navigator cannot be challenged...through heavy storms and dangerous seas filled with huge icebergs the RESOLUTION survived without the loss of a single man. On January 30 he reached his furthest south but could go no further.
		Cook's reputation was unchallenged and with his conclusion one can assume that all further exploration would have been unnecessary except for one detail...he kept thorough records of his sailing.
