"James Cook wasn't a captain."
What, are you gonna tell me he wasn't a cook either, too?
He was a Captain though.
Jaylemagnifique that’s all he has left.
lieutenant is still a junior officer of the RN , but in war time they can command a ship. though a sloop or smaller. then they can be promoted to master and commander, which can command a frigate rating ship, at this time they can be called captain, but technically they are not. once they got promoted again, they are at rank captain, they can command a frigate or higher, i cannot be sure he can command a ship of the line or not. once he reached post captain, he can command from 4th rate to higher ship of the line. then of course the war time command of a commodore, which can command a small detachment of ships, at this time the commodore is an admiral, even wearing an admiral uniform, but once the task is over, he is back to post captain's half pay, instead of the full admiral pay.
so in this claim 'he's not a captain' is totally false, since both master and commander and post captain are captain rank.
Martin 87 was a lutenant before that

I’ve been drawing fantasy maps for fun since middle school, and your now telling me there’s a class for that?
I also really dig the fantasy map shown on screen. They called it the "Neither Lands"? Sounds like some kind of hellish world full of red-haired people speaking in a strange, indecipherable conlang which is probably just something like German or something, but with a couple letters changed here and there. Sounds like an awesome idea... too bad it's just fantasy...
You can also make money off it! People often but unique maps for things like DnD
The irony is the fact that my brother lives there.
@@nickfifteen Ohh and if it's close to German, it could have some kind of love-hate relationship with Germany! Like, maybe they are pretty much friends now (even in the same union of countries?) but they have a dark past, with a big war or something like that!
Same as me then i draw some countries and make them fight lol
So Captain James Cook wasn’t actually a captain... but was he a cook?
Wait, was he a James at least?
@@Mypromiselive and the captain actually did the cooking. That's why the island was discovered in the first place. the captain was busy cooking and James the cook was pretending to be a captain and "discovered" an island while high on rum infused opium from China
@@Mypromiselive He also was a terrible James
🤔
Post-Captain is the actual rank of Captain, and the term is used to highlight that they are an actual Captain and not just "Captain" as a term of address as a ship's commander or as an honorary nominative for the rank of Commander. It's kind of like calling a Colonel a "full-bird Colonel" in order to distinguish them from a Lieutenant Colonel who is addressed as Colonel in everyday use. When you "made post" your promotion was posted in the London Gazette. He was made post-captain after his second voyage, and was honorarily retired to take a prestigious post outside the Royal Navy. When he returned to service for his third (and final) voyage he was still a Captain. Seems like the researcher misunderstood the meaning of post-captain and how it applied to Captain Cook.

BATHYMETRIC DATA! thank you Sam, you just solved a question I've had for so many years, I did have the chance to meet Google maps people and not even them knew about the lines in the ocean, I was speculating the idea that these were popular oceanic routes and for that reason you see so many connecting ocean cities and more specifically ports. This is such a great relief and theory validation for me, so glad I can pin a name to it now. THANK YOU SAM WHERE DO I DONATE? I love your videos

@@dr.kalculator6698 A*
Exactly, same with Captain Crunch! There is "Captain" the rank, which is under Commodore and above Commander... then there's "Captain" the role, which is simply the top dog of their ship.
So with Captain Crunch, he may have had the RANK of Commander, but he is still the Captain (top commanding officer) of the SS Guppy. It's the same with Captain Cook.
@@nickfifteen No, Cook had the naval rank of Captain. Post-captain means a naval officer who holds the rank of captain. If Captain Crunch was a Commander, he held a courtesy rank of Captain but was not a post-Captain.
@@johnleake5657 LEGIT QUESTION: So if someone has the ROLE of captain, but not the _rank_ of captain, such as if the actual captain/CO is incapacitated and the commander/XO has to take over... would the temp now-CO ever be called "captain" when/if issuing commands?

Just remember, kids, a post-captain is neither the rank after captain nor the captain of a mail ship.
And once he was "made Post" he was on the Royal Navy's Captains' List. Promotion to admiral was automatic. One just waited to be promoted automatically to admiral after those ahead on the list died.
Just like everybody who fails to understand that at sea the commander of any naval ship is referred to his/her face as "Captain" and to other people as "the Captain" (of the ship) regardless of rank actually held. If an actual Captain is travelling aboard but not in command then he/she is referred to only as "Captain (insert name here)" to others and "sir/ma'am" to their face, because their rank does not give them the right to interfere with the running of the ship that they are not assigned to command.

Goes to show that even with all our knowledge and tech we can still overlook basic things. Can u imagine if an island like that caused territorial disputes?
Cook was promoted to Post-Captain in the period between his 2nd and 3rd voyages. As Captain of HMS Resolution he was the senior captain In commanded of his third and fatal expedition, accompanied by Captain Charles Clerke in HMS Discovey.
Cook was the son of a farm labourer (later farmer manager) his rise through the ranks to the rank of Post-Captain was a remarkable achievement for someone if such low social background. It was a testimony to his scientific and navigational skills.
The term Post-Captain served to distinguish those who were captains by rank from officers in command of a naval vessel, who were (and still are) addressed as captain by courtesy regardless of actual rank.
Thumbs up for keeping the memory alive. Shiny
So how deep is the water there? Is it 4000 feet deep or is it shallow? If it is shallow it is possible it used to exist at low tide but has since washed away. Many volcanic islands will appear after an eruption, but disappear months or years later due to erosion, then reappear after another eruption. China has laid claim to some volcanic islands that only sometimes exist above water.
Well China is building Islands and airbases in the south China sea
5000 to 7000 feetdeep
@@unfetteredparacosmian Well since it is deeper than it should be, this just proves the entire island got abducted by aliens.
"---removed from existence."
Pls make that function available for everyone 😂
James Cook was a captain. A post-captain referred to someone who held the rank of captain and was in command of a vessel (i.e. a posting)
(This distinguished it from lower ranks, such as commanders, who could still be in command of vessels and would be referred to as "the captain" despite not holding the rank of captain)
The Great Emu War resulted in the destruction of the island.
Can you do a video about weird things on google earth like why the Bahamas have light blue around them or what the actual hell is going on with the paracel islands?
The Bahamas thing is because the water is super shallow there
Actually a post-captain just means a captain who is in charge of a ship, since not all captains were able to get a ship (they'd basically be kept a-shore on half pay) those who were able to get command of a ship were given the rank post-captain as their names were "posted" in the London gazette, they'd still be called captain and have command of a ship.

Many mapmakers draw fake islands to tell if other mapmakers are copying off their work. Sandy Island was never spotted, but was used as a sort of a signature for the mapmaker.
0:47 James Cook was a captain! There were two types of captain in the Royal Navy: 1. any officer commanding a British naval vessel; and 2. the actual rank of captain (referred to as post-captain to distinguish it from the other kind).
As such James Cook was both kinds of captain, it's just he didn't hold the rank of captain when he found Australia.
Note: Post-captain gets it's name from 'having the post (job) of captain'.

Undiscovered means it wasn't discovered yet. Anyone else thought that s confusing?
Undiscovered can mean it was not discovered, or that it was un-discovered
But dis-covered basically means the same thing as un-covered, so we could just say it was covered.
I think the prefix we want here is "de-discovered".
