Born in Marton, near Middlesborough, Captain James Cook would go on to become one of the most famous explorers in British maritime history.
Indeed, young James’ childhood was nothing remarkable, and following his rudimentary education, Cook became an apprentice to William Sanderson, a local grocer. After 18 months working next to Staithes’ busy harbor, James felt the calling of the sea. Not wanting to stand in the young man’s way, he introduced Cook to his friend, John Walker, a ship owner from Whitby, who took him on as an apprentice seaman.
Cook lived in the Walker family house in Whitby and went to school with the other apprentices in the town. Cook worked hard and was soon serving on one of Walkers’ “cats”, the Freelove. Cats were hardy ships, built in Whitby to take coal down the coast to London. Cook was a quick learner and rapidly established himself as one of the most promising apprentices in Walker’s care.
In 1750, Cook’s apprenticeship with the Walkers ended, though he carried on working for them as a seaman. As always with Cook, it wasn’t long before he was promoted, and in 1755, he was offered the command of the Friendship, a cat he was familiar with. For many, this would have been the realization of an ambition, and they would have grasped the chance with both hands. Cook, however, wanted more than to spend his remaining years sailing in coastal waters in poor weather, so he politely turned down the Walkers’ offer and joined the Royal Navy.
