Cook’s ‘Endeavour’ voyage marks 250 years

The 250 year anniversary of Lieutenant James Cook’s voyage on the Endeavour is being celebrated, as people remember the Pacific voyage where Tahiti was first sighted. The main mission of the voyage was to record the transit of Venus on Saturday June 3, 1769 in order to give scientists an accurate reading of the distance between Venus and the Earth.
