  • Captain James Cook and the crew of the Endeavour came ashore at what is now Botany Bay on 28 April 1770. On 6 May, the Endeavour took on fresh water, weighed anchor and headed north. They soon passed the entrance to a harbour which appeared to offer safe anchorage, which Captain Cook named Port Jackson; it subsequently came to be known as Sydney Harbour.
