Henry Roberts (captain) Totally Explained

Everything about Henry Roberts Captain totally explained

Henry Roberts (1757- 1796) was an officer in the British Royal Navy who served with Captain Cook on his last two voyages.
   Roberts served as lieutenant on Cook's HMS Discovery, where he was entrusted with many hydrographic and cartographic tasks, and also met then-midshipman George Vancouver. Roberts spent many years after that voyage preparing the detailed charts that went into Cook's posthumous Atlas.
   In 1790, Roberts was appointed to command a newly-built HMS Discovery on another round-the-world voyage and selected George Vancouver as his first lieutenant. However, the crisis of the Great Spanish Armament called both men to duty elsewhere, and upon its resolution, Vancouver was given command of the historic voyage.
   Vancouver named Point Roberts after Henry Roberts.
