  1. To add to the above, Cooktown, Queensland, Australia.

    Captain Cook sheltered there to repair his barque Endeavour in 1770


  2. All I can think of is The Cook Islands.

  3. Wikipedia mentions the following tributes:

    ---Captain Cook appeared on the 1928 Hawaiian Sesquicentennial half dollar

    ---James Cook University in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia

    ---James Cook Primary School, Middlesbrough, England

    ----James Cook University Hospital, Marston, England

    ----RRS James Cook, commissioned as part of the UK Royal Research fleet in 2006

  4. The first tertiary education institution in North Queensland, Australia was named after him, with James Cook University opening in Townsville in 1970. Numerous other institutions, landmarks and place names reflect the importance of Cook's contribution to knowledge of geography. These also include the Cook Islands, the Cook Strait, and Cook crater.
