James Cook was born on 27 October 1728 at Marton-in-Cleveland. His father, originally from Scotland, was also called James and married Grace Pace from Cleveland. Their family numbered eight children, though several died young. When James was still a child, his father moved to Great Ayton, a few miles away near the Cleveland Hills, and became the foreman on Aireyholme Farm.
Here he received the rudiments of education at the village school and assisted his father on the farm. In 1745, he began work in a grocer's shop at Staithes, a fishing village only a short distance from the busy port of Whitby.
After eighteen months, he determined to go to sea, and was introduced to the Walker family. John Walker and his brother Henry were Quaker ship owners engaged in the coal trade between the North-East and London.
The Quakers, or Society of Friends, were upright, hospitable people and known for their simplicity of manners and public spirit.
As the Elders of the Whitby Quakers advised them: "Be temperate and sober. Avoid all Pride and Affectation. Let your Moderation and Prudence appear to all men in speech and communication, in habit and furniture".
The young Cook could not have come to a better environment. The Walkers' ships were workaday 'cats' trading to London and across the North Sea. It was on the 'Freelove' in February 1747, carrying a cargo of coal to London, that Cook was introduced to the life of a sailor.
Captain Cook was simply the greatest sailoor of all times.

The skin head of the group. 90% body fat with a tad of muscles he’s gained over years of abusing steroids.
Claims he pulls 10/10 girls. But really, all we’ve seen 3 umpalumpas.
Watch out if your in a kitchen with him, especially if there’s duck tape near by.
Trim is a solid 3/10
Owen “Is that aitch over there”
Hayden “Naa hes too buff to be aitch”
George “THATS JAMES COOK Does he have a mrs? Mine is getting boring”

The act of spending 3 hours to turn $25 worth of ingredients into a $10 meal.
Tim: What did you have for lunch?
Joe: I made a homemade burger and it sucked! I spent all morning and the ingredients cost more than just buying one.
Tim: Yeah, home cooking sucks.

1.Verb-excessive perspiration of the armpits causing large rings of sweat to be visible under the arms even after the arms are relaxed down at one's side resulting the sweat to take on a tacoesque form.
2. Half circle of sweat seen after the arms are folded down like a taco.
1. Lisa:"I'm so nervous for my date I'm sweating!"
Cindy:"I know your totally cooking tacos!"
2.Katie: "Wow, it's hotter than hell in here!"
Seth: "Yeah, looks like your cooking some tacos there..."
