1770 is regarded as a significant year for Australia because it was when James Cook (not yet a captain) became the first known European to sail up the eastern coast, charting it as he went. Because of Cook's favourable reports, this region which he claimed for England under the name of New South Wales, was recommended for settlement. (For this reason, Cook is often wrongly credited with "discovering" Australia.)
