Thomas Caplin
Hi! in 1972 my father's aunt told the family that one of our ancestors was actually a crew member on one of Captain Cook's ships. I can't see his name - supposing his surname was actually Caplin - on any lists. When googling surname Caplin + James - Cook Ai gave this: "Caplin was the last name of Thomas Caplin, who was a subordinate of the British explorer, navigator, and cartographer Captain James Cook. Caplin was a crew member who served under Captain Cook during his three voyages in the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779. "... is it possible then that he actually was a member of one crew? grateful for any answer - thanks! Thomas
