Default Telescopes of Captain James Cook.

In case you haven't seen the page about Captain James Cook. It took me
over two years to research this and find out what telescopes he actually
took with him. The answer came from a ship's manifest. You can find the
pages he
http://www.antiquetelescopes.org/cook.html
I have also added a page about fake antique telescopes.
I can't help wondering if the name Captain James T Kirk was taken from
Captain James Cook. Cook was a real explorer who went where no man had
gone before, after all.

"Do you lilke card tricks?" he asked.
I said no.
He did five.
