For James Cook's first voyage, he was sent to observe the transit of Venus across the sun from the vantage point of Tahiti. Cook's ship, the 'Endeavour', departed England, on 25 August 1768. Cook reached Tahiti and observed the transit which occurred on 3 June 1769.
After observing the transit of Venus, Cook was under secret orders to search for Terra Australis Incognita, the great continent which some believed to extend round the pole. His mission was to make extensive notes and report of the nature of the land.
