Yes, Captain James Cook landed in Port Jackson on April 29, 1770, during his voyage along the eastern coast of Australia. He anchored the HMS Endeavour in what is now known as Sydney Cove, marking the first European contact with the area. Cook's landing played a significant role in the subsequent British colonization of Australia.
