CAPTAIN COOK SCHOOLROOM MUSEUM TRUST 

The museum is housed in a building erected in 1785 on the site of the charity school attended by James Cook between 1736 and 1740. It features a reconstruction of an early C18 schoolroom and interactive displays show his voyages of discovery. Visitors can learn how to use a sextant and see the education system that provided the starting point for the great navigator, explorer and chartmaker.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • This charity appears to be dormant
