∙ 12y agoBecause he was sent to Tahiti to observe the Transit of Venus, to aid in the scientific effort of the day to mathmatically calculate Earth's distance from the sun, and travelling by ship was a whole lot more sensible than swimming there! He had no real options to travelling by boat in the late 1700s.
