Apart from the usual ship's crew, Captain Cook also had the botanist Sir Joseph Banks with him. Banks classified and named many new species of plants in Australia and New Zealand, and the unique Australian species known as the banksia is named after him. The Swedish botanist Daniel Solander and Finnish scientist Dr. Herman Spöring also travelled with Cook, being employed by Joseph Banks.
At Tahiti, Cook was also joined on his voyage by a Tahitian chief named Tupaia, who wanted to travel, together with his boy-servant Tayeto.
