James Cook
James Cook (1728-1779) was a British explorer, navigator, and cartographer. When he was a young man, Cook joined the British Royal Navy as a merchant. He stayed in the navy and worked his way up the ranks until he became a captain. As a captain, Cook led many ground-breaking explorations. He recorded and mapped islands and coastlines that were not previously charted, creating detailed and innovative maps. Because of his incredible cartography and adventurous journeys, Cook left a legacy of invaluable scientific and geographical knowledge.

N.B. All Bearings and Courses hereafter-mentioned, are the true Bearings and Courses, and not by Compass.
Cape Chapeaurouge. Cape Chapeaurouge, or the Mountain of the Red Hat, is situated on the West side of Placentia Bay, in the Latitude of 46° 53' North, and lies nearly West 17 or 18 Leagues from Cape St. Maries; it is the highest and most remarkable Land on that Part of the Coast, appearing above the rest something like the Crown of a Hat, and may be seen in clear Weather 12 Leagues.
Harbours of St. Laurence Close to the Eastward of Cape Chapeaurouge are the Harbours of Great and Little St. Laurence. To sail into Great St. Lawrence, which is the Westermost, there is no Danger but what lies very near the Shore; taking Care with Westerly, and particularly S.W. Winds, not to come too near the Hat Mountain, to avoid the Flerrys and Eddy Winds under the high Land. The Course in is first N.W. till you open the upper Part of the Harbour, then N.N.W. half W. The best Place for great Ships to Anchor, and the best Ground is before a Cove on the East-side of the Harbour in 13 Fathom Water. A little above Blue Beach Point, which is the first Point on the West-side; here you lie only two Points open: You may Anchor
