I'm not familiar with the story, but it sounds like Captain Cook is to
Australia as Columbus is to the USA.
Both were explorers and navigators, but Columbus never discovered USA.
Both were sailing on "serendipity," so I'm not sure why credit is
given to them; of course back then, they had turf rules where if
something is found, it's "ours," despite the natives living there.
