Captain Arthur Phillip was initially on the HMS Sirius, which was the leading ship of the First Fleet. In November 1787, a month after leaving the Cape of Good Hope, he transferred to the HMS Supply, leaving the Sirius under his second-in-command, Captain John Hunter.
The Supply was a smaller and faster ship, so as the Fleet rounded Van Diemen's Land, Phillip forged ahead to form an advance party with the Alexander, Scarborough and Friendship.
