Lieutenant James Cook (not yet a captain) chose Botany Bay as the most promising site for a new settlement.
it is interesting to note that, when the First Fleet arrived eighteen years later, Captain Arthur Phillip did not find botany Bay to be at all as Cook had described. He was forced to reconnoitre north in order to find a more suitable prospect.

If you still have some expenses that were not covered by the settlement, you may be able to claim a casualty loss deduction or a medical expense deduction. If you paid out a settlement, it would only be deductible if it were a business expense.
