It’s now 250 years and a couple of months since James Cook set sail from Plymouth on board the Endeavour on the first of his three voyages to the Pacific and Southern Oceans, and 290 years since he was born in the village of Marton in Yorkshire, the second child of James Cook, a Scottish farm labourer from Ednam, near Kelso, and his wife Grace.
