text_original: And as the place seemed more convenient than the Marquesas for astronomical observation, it was determined that the transit should be observed from Otaheite. The Endeavour was fitted in the basin of Deptford dockyard July 30th, 1768. She sailed from Deptford, and on August 26th, the wind being fair, she put to sea from Plymouth. The superstitious may remark that this most successful voyage of discovery was commenced on a Friday.
