Captain Cook Memorial Museum

Hotels near Captain Cook Memorial Museum, Whitby (England), United Kingdom .

Along England's northeastern coast, the town of Whitby pays tribute to Captain Cook. The discoverer's memory is housed in the Captain Cook Memorial Museum.

The Museum exudes 17th century England set right in the Whitby harbor. The rooms inside the home showcase Quaker simplicity and customs. However, the site mainly acknowledges Captain James Cook for he was lodged as a young apprentice in the home.

Captain Cook would train as a seaman where the Captain Cook Museum stands today. Cook would go on to be the first man to sail around the world in both directions. His accomplishments would extend even farther with his voyages leading to the founding of Australia and New Zealand.

Visitors that would like a more personal view of the great voyager can tour the museum at £4 for an adult and £3 for a child's ticket. The Museum highlights maps of the world before Cook's voyages and takes visitors through several rooms, from the old kitchen to the attic where Cook spent much of his time studying.

The Captain Cook Memorial Museum sits in an ideal location for exploring just as Captain Cook did. While some 250 miles outside of London, travelers exploring the Yorkshire region of England will be within reach of the museum.
