Captain Cook's Endeavour Journal

Launched in 1764 as the merchant collier 'Earl of Pembroke', the ship was purchased in 1768 by the Royal Navy for £2,300, renamed 'Endeavour', and refitted for Cook’s expedition to view the transit of Venus from Tahiti, and then to look for the Southern Continent. This expedition was to turn into Cook's first circumnavigation of the globe.

30th July, 1768

River Thames
Weighed from Gallions, and made sail down the River, the same day Anchored at Gravesend.
