	Captain James Cook in Alaska (Part 1) - ExploreNorth
		Captain Cook is universally regarded as one of the most ambitious explorers of all time - in particular, his three expeditions in 1768-1771, 1772-1775, and 1776-1779 accomplished an impressive list of "firsts," including the first European sighting of Hawaii.
		Although Cook had been given an honourary shore posting in gratitude for his previous service, and was not initially considered to lead this new expedition, the prize money must surely have been a consideration in his offer on January 9, 1776 to lead the expedition.
		Cook was heading into tricky waters politically - Vitus Bering had reached Alaska 35 years before, and the Spanish sent exploration parties north from California to Alaska in 1774 and 1775.
