And fact number four.

One of Cook's greatest challenges came when his ship The Endeavour was nearly sunk on the Australian Great Barrier Reef in 1770.

This occurred when Cook was heading to the Dutch seaport of Batavia after landing in Australia.

As these waters were uncharted, he sailed directly over the razor-sharp coral formations of the Great Barrier Reef.

After more than 20 hours of frantic work by the crew, he made it to shore to conduct repairs, which would take approximately two months.

And the last fact, fact number five.

In the 18th century, long-distance sea voyages were plagued with scurvy, which is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C. Cook helped pioneer new methods to mitigate this disease, some by luck and others by keen observance.

Cook's formula was for fresh food at each of his stops, citrus and sauerkraut, which he smartly encouraged sailors to eat when it was placed on the officer's table each day.

Now on to... The first question, question number one.

What was the name of Captain Cook's famous ship on his first voyage?

And question two, which came first, the circumnavigation of New Zealand or the charting of the east coast of Australia?

And question three, what name did Cook give to the Hawaiian Islands?

And we do have two bonus questions.

The first one is, what was the name of the Hawaiian bay where Captain Cook was killed?

And our final bonus question, what did the explorer say when he spotted Antarctica?

It's now time to recap that mnemonic.

Mnemonics.

And the mnemonic for Captain James Cook, top five facts is Buffy.

For the Buffy, we take the B for born in Yorkshire, England in 1728.

The U is assisting.
