ANOTHER MONUMENT TO CAPTAIN COOK -- a communication from HMS Scout states that a monument has been erected on one of the islands of the Pacific to the memory of Captain Cook, who was killed by the savages of Owhyhee 95 years ago. The ceremony took place on 14 November, in the presence of Major Wodehouse, the English Commissioner, and the Captain and officers of the Scout. The monument is an obelisk, 25 feet high, and mounted on a base 8 feet square. It is of concrete, bears the following inscription: -- “in memory of the great circumnavigator, Capt James Cook R.N., Who discovered of these islands on 18 January 80 1778; and fell near the spot on 10 February 1817 78. This monument was erected in November 18, 1874 by some of his fellow countrymen”. We scarcely need to add that in his native district the memory of Captain Cook is cherished. The remains of the house in which he was born are carefully preserved Marton; the house in which he was educated at Great Ayton is pointed out, with becoming interest; and on one of the most prominent hills of the Cleveland range the monument of the brave navigator may be seen throughout the district.
We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
Known to native Hawaiians as ʻIlio-holo-i-ka-uaua, or "dog that runs in rough water", its scientific name is from Hugo Schauinsland, a German scientist. The Hawaiian monk seals are adopted to be Hawaii's state mammal.
"Mighty Mo" or "Big Mo" is a United States Navy Iowa-class battleship and was the third ship of the U.S. Navy to be named in honor of the US state of Missouri. Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and was the site of the surrender of the Empire of Japan which ended World War II.
Missouri was ordered in 1940 and commissioned in June 1944. In the Pacific Theater of World War II she fought in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa and shelled the Japanese home islands, and she fought in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. She was decommissioned in 1955 into the United States Navy reserve fleets (the "Mothball Fleet"), but reactivated and modernized in 1984 as part of the 600-ship Navy plan, and provided fire support during Operation Desert Storm in January/February 1991.
Missouri received a total of 11 battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, and was finally decommissioned on 31 March 1992, but remained on the Naval Vessel Register until her name was struck in January 1995. In 1998, she was donated to the USS Missouri Memorial Association and became a museum ship at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
