The narrator makes such a huge deal out of Cook's weekly Bible readings, without noting that even the most atheistic captain in the Royal Navy would've done the same under pain of death because the very first article of the Royal Navy's 1749 Articles of War demanded he do so unless he happened to have a real chaplain on board which he did not. By most accounts, he was not a particularly religious man. He was a great seaman and obviously an even greater cartographer, but that's about the best thing that can be said for sure about him with any level of objectivity.
Captain James Cook was a professional seaman, navigator and explorer. He lived in a time when these were highly dangerous occupations with scurvy, tuberculosis and plague affecting many sailors who traveled to distant lands. He has never seemed to me to be overly religious, but I have always admired his leadership and humane treatment of the "Indians" as they called the Aboriginals at that time. As an Australian woman with some Aboriginal ancestry, I gave up worshiping male gods a long time ago.
@@johnnycash1365 Nope, never had any of those either. Thankfully, in today's world I can live my life without the need to worship any gods and hopefully, I won't be burned at the stake.
Thank you for a really good video about Capt. James Cook. I was encouraged to hear he took his Bible with him. I felt sorry for his wife left alone (like all navy wives) with the children only seeing him betweens. Thanks again for doing a good job.
Thank you, Barbara, for taking the time to give us feedback. We really appreciate hearing from our viewers like yourself. We agree that it was a tough life for Captain Cook's wife and children.. May God bless you
Good stuff, Love your stories on most everything, I lived on the red cliff peninsula, For a few years, I do believe , That the endeavours anchor was it right cliff, Beside the old , Skating rink. Last time I was in queensland many years.Ago now, I think It's gone, Probably in a museum. Gary kent love your stories, Have watched so many of them but probably not enough, You truly are a wise man.😊
Well done. Our people and young people need to know about Christians such as Captain Cook who made a difference in his day and even in our days. Their lives are worth study and many cases emulation. Keep up the good work!
Amazing history. He discovered many islands. Unknown regions in the world. His contributions to history are fundamental to get a knowledge of Geography, History and even Astronomy.
Tupaia from Raiatea Tahiti navigated cook all through polynesia but was purposely left out of the whitewashed history books how do you discover a place that has already been discovered, Polynesians had already sailed and populated all of polynesia thousands of years before cook, Polynesians also meet with the natives of south America 3000yrs before Columbus, maori also have the kumara (sweet potato) only native to sth america and we did this by using astrology and science, Polynesians are the nomads of the sea and the greatest seafarers to have ever existed. History is wrong, This is the real history cook and columbus didn't discover anything.
I had the opportunity to visit the painted church in 1978 while in the army stationed at Ford Island having sailed from Virginia on my ship and stayed at Pearl Harbor for 2 yrs transporting troops from Oahu to the big island.The story of Captain Cook was very interested.
Excellent presentation. Thank you, however, though I am a devoted Christian, I express my concern about the way in which you have used this footage to spread the word. Just doesn’t feel pure or right. Comes across as a con-though I realise that you no doubt are only trying to share righteous principles.
Cook was killed by Hawaiian natives because he was not quite as humane as this narrator would have you believe. This story leaves out a lot of the killing of indigenous peoples that was done in the name of Cooks exploitation and domination.
This story seems to follow more the old version of history books written by the british than what has been deemed fact today. I am not saying it is bad, just outdated.
Captain came to South Pacific in 1768 -69 to witness the transit of Venus. He left England with many Portuguese Maps. He didn’t discover too much at all, sorry to burst bubbles here. Do a bit of research, the Portuguese (firstly) and Spanish, French and then Dutch all traversed many of the places that apparently Captain Cook discovered, and hundreds of years prior. I don’t know why people persist with these fanciful tales about Cook. Google the following asking about the discovery of Australia Collingridge, Major, McIntyre, Trickett, Barros, Cristovao Mendonca, Diego Pacheco, Look at a Map Of Portuguese discoveries in South East Asia. Cooks discovery of Australia is a modern day myth. I just suggest you research and read.

What about female god's?

yeah but all the islands were already taken

@@peacefulwarrior6285 well said .
He certainly put them on the world map though.
@@peacefulwarrior6285 thank you. For speaking truth
More of the accomplishments of Captain James Cook should be made to our school children , he paved the way to a better life for most of us. !
he's a murderer! Along with the rest
He was a great man of knowledge and science.

Sir , you have made wonderful informative research. This is helping me to understand the scriptures in a different level
Noone drew maps like cook. noone came close ... he was the master ....
A very good presentation. Thank you

Excellent!!!! So many flicks on history are stupid and leave students stupid. This is an excellent report on history.
Great biography. A very true account and all as you say.
thank you Father for your Son
finally i found this video not only history of james kook but part of christian mitionary too.
Great video
Thanks so much for this ❤️
I keep wandering what James Cook would have sounded like in speech.
And I live near "Cook Inlet" in Alaska.
Wow good to hear that Mary :) have a great day ahead.
Yet they are trashing his name in this modern day just like Christs name. He must be honored.
Yep.
How wonderful to have a video that doesn't glorify islam and its apologists. Even though I'm not religious at all, a big well done to you.
Can I get some citations on Cook being a god fearing man?

How much was he paid to work on the Eagle?
A great navigator and seafarer however exploited but his bosses, the greedy nobility and colonizers
What a shame no mention was made of Cooks earlier life which in itself is a fine story!
Cook was killed by Hawaiian natives because he was not quite as humane as this narrator would have you believe. This story leaves out a lot of the killing of indigenous peoples that was done in the name of Cooks exploitation and domination.
He didn't leave a trail of death and destruction. If natives wanted aggro, they got it. If they didn't then he didn't.
When matter of religion every dectator, killr was peace spreader.
You act like you were there.. get over yourself
You can’t make sweeping statements without backing it up….any facts?….source?
This story seems to follow more the old version of history books written by the british than what has been deemed fact today. I am not saying it is bad, just outdated.
Excellent historical presentation until the attempted Christian conversion kicked in for the final 7mins.

Was enjoying this until the stuff at the end. Not necessary and not exactly accurate.
Could you please speak in traditional miles & not European Kilometres?
Sir may u please help me to do diploma in history

Would that the ignorant’social justice warriors’ sat down, shut up, stop howling & ripping down statues & learned about Captain Cook.
