Statue by Thomas Brock in The Mall, London, England
A bronze statue of Captain James Cook by Thomas Brock is located near Admiralty Arch on the south side of The Mall in London, United Kingdom.[2] The statue was completed in 1914 and is maintained by The Royal Parks.[2] It is mounted on a stone plinth.[2]
The idea for the memorial was first proposed by Joseph Carruthers, the former premier of New South Wales, who had written to The Times complaining of the lack of a statue to Captain Cook in London. The completed work was unveiled on 7 July 1914 by Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn.[3]
