Best Answer

After setting sail on 13 May 1787, the first port of call for the First Fleet, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, was Tenerife. On 3 June 1787, the fleet arrived at Santa Cruz, Tenerife in the Canary Islands, to take on board fresh water, vegetables and meat. Phillip and the chief officers were entertained by the local governor, while one convict tried unsuccessfully to escape. If the question refers to where Phillip first docked in Australia: Captain Arthur Phillip first landed at botany Bay, which was the site recommended for settlement by James Cook and Sir Joseph Banks. However, discovering there was a lack of fresh water or suitable trees to use for timber, the soil was poor quality and the harbour inadequate, Phillip moved the First Fleet on to Port Jackson.

What is they best breed of horse?

i think the best horse breed is the Draft horse. There huge and very beautiful. My Friend has 2 one named Captain and Dock. Captain is a black draft ans stands over 17 to 19 hands and Dock is bay and sorta brown and is 18 or 19 hands. They are very friendly kind of horses and just love you at first sight. That's how Dock and Captain were. Bigger the better i think. So yeah defiantly Draft. There is no one best breed of horse. Each horse is different and special in it's own way.
