List of crew members aboard the first voyage of James Cook information


The first voyage of James Cook was a discovery expedition to the south Pacific Ocean, with aims of observing the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun[1] and seeking evidence of the alleged southern territories, named by that time as Terra Australis Incognita.[2] The ship chosen for the voyage was HMS Endeavour. The makeup of the crew during the voyage varied due the high mortality, for which contributed mainly malaria and dysentery, that the crew had contracted in Batavia.[3] There was also one occurrence of successful desertion of Patrick Saunders, who after being disrated, escaped the ship.[a][5]
