Captain Cook Arrow Legend
It was a great legend while it lasted, but DNA testing has 1 ended a two-century-old story of the Hawaiian arrow carved from the bone of British explorer Captain James Cook 2 died in the Sandwich Islands1 in 1179.
There is 3 Cook2 in the Australian Museum, museum collection manager Jude Philip said not long ago in announcing the DNA evidence that the arrow was not made of Cooks bone. But that will not stop the museum from continuing to display the arrow in its 4 , Uncovered: Treasures of the Australian Museum,3 which 5 include a feather cape presented to Cook by Hawaiian King Kalaniopuu in 1778.
Cook was one of Britains great explorers and is credited with 6 the Great South Land, 7 Australia, in 1770. He was clubbed to death in the Sandwich Islands, now Hawaii.
The legend of Cooks arrow began in 1824 8 Hawaiian King Kamehamcha on his deathbed gave the arrow to William Adams, a London surgeon and relative of Cooks wife, saying it was made of Cooks bone after the fatal 9 with islanders.
In the 1890s the arrow was given to the Australian Museum and the legend continued 10 it came face-to-face with science.
DNA testing by laboratories in Australia and New Zealand revealed the arrow was not made of Cooks bone but was more 11 made of animal bone, said Philp.
However, Cooks fans 12 to give up hope that one Cook legend will prove true and that part of his remains will still be uncovered, as they say there is evidence not all of Cooks body was 13 at sea in 1779. On this occasion technology has won,4 said Cliff Thornton, president of the Captain Cook Society,in a 14 from
Britain. But I am 15 that one of these days one of the Cook legends will prove to be true and it will happen one day.
