In part 1 of our series on British explorer James Cook, we look at the man's younger years, plus his life in the Royal Navy - focusing on his time in the Seven Years' War, and several years surveying the coast of Newfoundland. We'll finish with Cook being appointed to command the HMS Endeavour - which will be the beginnings of one of the most famous voyages of exploration in history.
