And then you'd think people would quit looking for the Northwest Passage because we've had several disasters. But they sort of have another crack. You've got Samuel Hearn in 1770, another fur trader.

Okay, next on the list is Your Dead to Me's previous subject, Captain James Cook. Okay. You must know the name, presumably, Stuart? Of course I've heard of Captain Cook. Yes? Good. Captain James T.
