Captain Cook Monument
Anchorage
A bronze statue of Captain James Cook looks out over Cook Inlet from a wooden platform at the end of L Street, a duplicate of the Whitby, England original by Sir John Tweed. British Petroleum donated it for the 1976 American Bicentennial. A 2023 sign added beside it gives the Dena'ina names for the land Cook was 'discovering', so the story on the plinth is now two-sided rather than one.
