Early Ocean Explorer

Hi there big fish!
Tonight I will be discussing Captain James Cook's impact on oceanography. Cook's discovery was important to oceanography because he was the first explorer who had instruments to measure accurately latitude and longitude. Here are 5 interesting facts about this special oceanographer!
1. Cook's explorations increased European knowledge of the world.
2. He filled in many gaps on world maps. 
3. His contribution to eighteenth century science helped further exploration and discovery for many generations.
4. He was a skilled cartographer.
5. He was talented at math and navigation.
I hope this helped teach you more about this wonderful early ocean explorer!
Wave-ing goodbye,
~Little Fish Leanne
