The majority of Pacific Islanders Cook encountered were cannibals. He saw the limbs and butchered torsos of the victims hanging up ready to roast. At least the Australian aboriginals stuck to their mainly seafood, kangaroo and reptile diet...
Interesting that “Cook” as a surname indicated his fate.
If his name had been Goldman, he would have found Montezuma’s secret treasure.
Imagine back then a deli in Hawaii? LOL.
