The lists contain only the officers and persons who played significant roles during the three voyages. I felt there were too many other crew members to include everyone.

Clive, I have checked the list of all the names of the crew and marines who served on Captain Cook's three voyages. I must inform you that there was nobody named Hipkin (or any surname similar to that) who sailed with Cook on his voyages.
Hello, could you kindly check if Richard Hipkin was a member of the crew on any of Captain Cook's voyages.
Charles, I am pleased to confirm that a Thomas Bean served as an AB seaman in Discovery, the companion vessel to Captain Cook's ship Resolution, on his third voyage of exloration (1776-1780).He was 23 years old when he enlisted in 1776, and was living in the town of Deptford. That is all the information that is known about Thomas Bean, have you any information about him?
Hi John, Looking for confirmation that Thomas Bean was aboard for Cook's third trip? Any help would be appreciated.Kind regards, Charles
Alison, thank you for your enquiry. I do not think that the sand blow was given a name by Captain Cook. When he sailed past that point on 17th May 1770, he was sailing two leagues from the shore -about 5 miles, and would not have seen such a small geographical feature. I have checked the journal of Captain Cook and he does not mention the feature in his day's report. And finally, you can see the list of all the crew on the Endeavour on this website athttps://www.captaincooksociety.com/Portals/ccs/Files/Musters/3endeavourmuster1.pdfThere was nobody on board named Carlo. It looks as if the sand blow was given a name long after Cook had sailed past this point.
Hi, thanks for this info. Can you tell us anything about the Carlo said to be part of the deck crew and after which Cook is said to have named the Carlo Sand Blow?
Ben, thank you for your enquiry. I have checked the list of Cook's crew (including marines) who sailed on all three of his voyages. Sorry to say that there is neither a Carder or a Kearsley amongst the names. The nearest was a William Kearney, and he was a marine on Adventure, on Cook's second voyage.
Hi, I’ve been told that two of my ancestors were amongst his crew. Is there any record of a Charles Carder and possibly a Kearsley (out of Whitby)? Thanks
Joan, I presume that you are referring to Joe Batts Arm, on Fogo Island, off the north coast of Newfoundland. Whilst Cook charted most of the coast of Newfoundland, he never charted that north coast, or the "French Shore" as it was called in Cook's day. So I do not think we can attribute Cook to naming that arm of the sea. Im addition, it would have been totally against naval protocol to give a family name to such a feature.
I notice that Captain Cooks wife had the maiden name of Batts. Is there any evidence that Joe Batts Arm was named after a member if her family?
