Over the years the CCS has held several quizzes through its journal, Cook's Log.
These are reproduced for you on our web site, so you can take part and test your knowledge of Captain Cook, even if the prizes have long ago been claimed!
Here is Quiz 5.
The questions originally appeared in 2004 (Vol. 27, no. 2, page 3) and the answers the following year (Vol. 28, no. 2, page 3).
