庫克船長小屋(英語:Cooks' Cottage,舊名:Captain Cook's Cottage[7] 位於澳洲墨爾本斐茲洛伊花園。1755年,船長詹姆士·庫克James Cook)的父母,詹姆士(James Cook)和格雷斯·庫克(Grace Cook),在英格蘭北約克郡的大艾頓村(Great Ayton)建造了這座小屋,[8] 1934年,拉塞爾·格里姆瓦德(Russell Grimwade)爵士將其運到了墨爾本。[9][10] 歷史學家們猜測,著名的航海家詹姆士·庫克是否曾住在這所房子裡,但幾乎可以肯定的是,他曾在這所房子裡拜訪過他的父母。[8]

小屋內有數百年的古董,風格與18世紀相似,義工導遊的衣服也是如此。[9]

歷史

1933年,這座小屋的主人決定將其出售,但出售條件是該建築留在英格蘭。她被說服將「英格蘭」改為「大英帝國」,並接受了拉塞爾·格里姆瓦德的出價800英鎊,而當地出價最高的是300英鎊。[8][11]

庫克船長小屋被一塊磚一塊磚地拆開,裝進253箱40桶,從赫爾運到「達尼丁港」號上。當這座房子在墨爾本重建時,裝飾這座房子的常春藤枝條也被採摘並種植在那裡。1934年10月定居墨爾本100周年紀念時,著名的商人和慈善家格里姆·瓦德(Grimwade)將這所房子捐贈給了維多利亞州人民。[8]

庫克船長小屋立即成為一個受歡迎的旅遊景點。1978年,對這座小屋進行了進一步的修復工作。這座房子周圍建了一座英式的村舍花園。房子裡的物品很少是庫克家族的,但都是當時具有代表性的家具。
