cook's first voyage of three, taking place between 1768 and 1771, was a combined royal navy and royal society expedition to the south pacific aboard the hms endeavour. departing from the plymouth dockyard in august 1768, the expedition crossed the atlantic and reached tahiti in time to observe the transit of venus before setting off into the largely uncharted ocean to the south. in 1769, the crew reach new zealand, and spent six months charting the coast before resuming their journey westward. in 1770 the crew became the first europeans to reach the east coast of australia before rounding the cape of good hope in 1771 and returning to england the summer of that year.

\"the famous accounts of captain cook's three voyages form the basis for any collection of pacific books. in three great voyages cook did more to clarify the geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere than all his predecessors had done together. he was really the first scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge.\" (hill)
