THE Captain Cook Birthplace Museum has dedicated its events programme from July until October to the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s voyages on board the HM Bark Endeavour.

The Marton-born explorer discovered and charted New Zealand and the Great Barrier Reef during his travels around the globe in the 18th century.

Events at the Cook Museum have been commemorating Cook’s Endeavour voyage to the Pacific Ocean and are dedicated to school children, families and adult learners.

Cook 250 commemorations will stretch up until the October half term with further family events and a number of talks about Cook’s discovery voyages and life on board the Endeavour.
