I have four different different original 18th century copper plate Captain Cook charts produced by Alexander Hogg, London, Paternoster Row; these are the first publicly (merchant available) charts following Cook's exploration of the Alaska coast. I snapped these up 25 years ago on Ebay when it was still populated by idiots who didn't know what they had. Doubtless, the Admiralty has charts a few years earlier than these, but these were the first limited edition plates offered to merchant vessels outside classified naval distribution. My favorite is my home island of Kodiak (which Cook mistook for a peninsula coming off the mainland), and then detailing (quite accurately) the deep fiord leading up to the where the city of Anchorage now stands. At the end of that long narrow bay, Cook himself had written in "R. Turn Again" which only indicates shallow water where they could no longer proceed. The printer mistook that for a place name and so, even today it is called Turnagain arm. I've been careful to back all of these with acid-free paper and beneath UV filtering glass to protect them for future generations.
It's unclear whether the Hawaiian who said that was speaking of the great seafarer, or just complimenting the cook.
The other mistaken Cook notation, famous only in Alaska, is Nome. He had written "Name?" adjacent to a small headland in the Bering Strait wondering if Bering or some later Russian explorer had already named this spot, but the printers mistook his crabbed notation for a place name and it has been Nome ever since.
