Bermuda

Cook's Early Survey Work

Cook stopped here on his very first transatlantic voyage to Canada on the Pembroke in 1757. Bermuda has not released any stamps showing Cook. They did however issue a stamp in 1977 showing the 1795 ship of the line HMS Resolution.

Canada

Cook's Early Survey Work

Cook's spent the best part of the period 1757 to 1766 surveying the west of Canada, mapping in the St. Lawrence River, Quebec and Newfoundland. He also surveyed the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon before they were handed over to the French.

Cook's Third Voyage

After discovering some of the Hawaiian Islands during his third voyage, Cook visited Vancouver Island without realising it was an island, and further explored the coast of what is now called British Columbia. In those days, the area was referred to as New Albion, following on from Drake's claim in the 16^th century. With him on the voyage as Midshipman was George Vancouver, who went on to lead his own expedition to the Pacific and North America.

The Canadian Post Office commemorated the bicentenary of the visit in 1978 with a pair of stamps. The other stamps listed are linked to Cook in other ways.

Canada	10/09/1959	Bicentenary of the Battle of Plains of Abraham 1v This 5c stamp which shows maple leaves and banners, commemorates the battle at which Cook was present.
Canada	13/03/1968	Bicentenary of First Meteorological Readings This 5c stamp commemorates the observations made by W. Wales, the observer on the second voyage. It was these readings done around the same time as Cook was going to observe Venus from Tahiti that got him onto the second voyage.

Nicaragua

In 1984 Nicaragua issued a miniature sheet featuring Cook landing at Botany Bay (anon) for the Ausipex 84 stamp exhibition held in Australia.

On 31 May 1999, Nicaragua produced a set of 4v, a sheetlet of 12 and two miniature sheets, featuring the 'Sailing Ships of the Golden Age of Seafaring'. This includes a painting of a Resolution, but it is the 1667 ship and not Cook's one.

Saint-Pierre et Miquelon

Cook's Early Survey Work

It was Cook, working under the orders of William Pitt (the Elder), who surveyed the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon off the southern coast of Newfoundland in June, July and August 1763, before they were handed over to France as part of the settlement of the Treaty of Paris.

There is one stamp from Saint-Pierre et Miquelon which features Cook's map, plus a couple of other related issues.

Saint-Pierre et Miquelon	05/08/1963	200th Anniversary of the Arrival of the First Governor The 200f stamp shows the arrival of Governor Dangeac. It wasn't until Cook had finished his survey that the islands were handed over to the French.
Saint-Pierre et Miquelon	25/10/1971	Saint Pierre Museum The 45f stamp shows Cook's map of the islands.
Saint-Pierre et Miquelon	01/01/1973	New France Famous People The 1.60f stamp shows Montcalm, who was the French General in Quebec at the time Cook was there.

United States of America

Cook's Third Voyage

Cook first visited some of the outlying Hawaiian Islands in January 1778. He then went on to survey the West Coast of Canada, Alaska and then into the Arctic. It wasn't until he returned in November 1778 that he visited the main island Owahee (Hawaii). It was of course on Hawaii that Cook died in a dispute over a stolen boat.

In 1928 the United States issued two overprinted definitives to commemorate the visit to Hawaii. In 1978 a pair of stamps was used to commemorate the bicentenary of both the visit to Hawaii and also later in the year to Alaska.

One of NASA's space shuttles is called the Endeavour after Cook's boat. The spacecraft was featured on a $10.75 stamp in 1995.

United States of America	13/08/1928	150th Anniversary of Cook's Visit to Hawaii 2v The 2c Washington and 5c Roosevelt definitives were overprinted HAWAII 1778-1928 for this anniversary.
United States of America	20/01/1978	Bicentenary of Cook's Discovery of Hawaii and Exploration in the Arctic 2x1v The vertical stamp in this pair of 13c values shows the Dance portrait of Cook and commemorates the Alaska voyage of 1778. The other horizontal 13c stamp shows the Resolution and the Discovery off Hawaii (Webber) also in 1778.
