captain cook charting our Islands

Today me and my class writting an essay about an article could captain cook charting our Islands.

Captain cook could use maths in his chart making because longitude and latitude. also maths was so important to him because it helped him caulate where to put new Islands that he found and chart them down. he also made maps so peolple could travel safely.

Captain Cook had been instructed that if he ever found he had to chart it. Soon  cook started to observe the transit. After observing the transit cook set sail to the south, Cook had very little idea of what he could find on 6 october 1769 a young twelve year old sailor named nicholas.

Captain cook is a sailor who once travelled from britain in August 1768 he had instructions the first one was to travel to tahiti. He charted Islands around the world like new zealand and a map of mercury bay.

One of the crew's first tasks was to make a sounding. This told the captain where it was safe to drop the anchor. Knowing about the depth of the water was essential information for a ship's captain.
I enjoyed writting. I found finding imformation challenging. my next steps are writte more.
