Views of Staithes, in the beautiful County of North Yorkshire

In 1745-1746 Staithes's most famous resident James Cook (born in Marton near Middlesbrough) worked in Staithes as a grocer's apprentice, where he first gained his passion for the sea. He moved to nearby Whitby where he joined the Royal Navy. William Sanderson's shop, where Cook worked, was destroyed by the sea, but parts were recovered and incorporated into "Captain Cook's Cottage". This has been the residency of a local Staithes family for several generations. Information from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
