When did Arthur Phillip establish a convict settlement at Sydney Cove?

On 26 January 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip raised the Union Jack to claim "New South Wales" as belonging to England. It was a military colony with convict labour and free settlers to produce food. The First Fleet actually arrived at Botany Bay on 18 January 1788. Phillip immediately determined that there was insufficient fresh water, an absence of usable timber, poor quality soil and no safe harbour at Botany Bay. Thus the fleet was moved to Port Jackson, where Sydney now stands, arriving on 26 January 1788.
