The idea for the memorial was first proposed by Joseph Carruthers, the former prime minister 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]
