Details:

Inspired by his growing love of the sea the young James Cook became an apprentice to shipmaster John Walker and moved to Whitby when he was eighteen.

Visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum in Whitby - located in the house where he once lodged. See where he studied by candlelight on dark winter nights under a roof made from old ships’ timbers and the window where he would have looked out across the harbour. The rooms are decorated as they would have been in Cook’s day and you can view the many original paintings, drawings, maps and manuscripts associated with his many voyages.
