Captain Cook's coastal tour

[rogespeed]

Seems was 250 years since the Englishman Captain Cook & crew toured the eastern coast of Australia on the good ship Endevour 

You can read his take on events here in his own words

Lieutenant Cook.

Rank of "Post-Captain"  actually was his last rank promoted in 1775 after completing the 2nd voyage of discovery, and upon being retired

ps " Endevour" should be spelt " Endeavour"

Exactly true.

But when he toured here he was a Lieutenant.

It appears everyone had a pleasant time on January 26th - 'natives' included

Reading that account of congenial trade and banter with the locals, is a shame the crew did not stay on and establish long lasting equal friendship ( the crew seemed very meek , whereas Cook seemed condescending - so i would exclude him)

Huh? Phillip landed on  Jan 26th NOT Cook  ...... back to school for you

It wouldn't hurt I s'pose.

I only went to grade 8.

I call it mainly self-edumacated.

[davewil1964]

it is timely, however.

Jimmy lobbed in the Bay on 28/9 April depending on what clock was being used, and extrapolations therefrom.

Phillip beat la Perouse by a bee's as well. Good thing, my French is less than adequate.
