I have no problem with him sailing around as dozens of oceanic explorers and traders had done for centuries before him. He was no different to Columbus, Eriksen, Vasco Da Gama, Marco Polo. What I object to is whitewashing his name and not recognising the achievements came at a great cost to local inhabitants. Two sides to his travels but we only get taught one. There is no denying that Cook and his crew spread disease that decimated the local islanders.
