The image is in the "Observations" section, which discusses how Cook documented many insights about indigenous peoples he encountered. The image is a manuscript page from his journal, which contains the famous quote in Cook's own handwriting. But the writing is not very legible, so the caption presents the quote to the reader in a legible manner. Normally, any quote would be in the article body text, but I think this is a rare exception were the caption is simply "translating" an illegible words contained in the image that the caption is describing. But, I can move the quote if you think that would be better for readers. [[User:Noleander|Noleander]] ([[User talk:Noleander|talk]]) 19:04, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[/td]
