Banks briefly records that passage between 24th March 1769 when the Endeavour "just turned the westernmost point" viz. Cape Farewell and 26th March when he reported that "at night came to an anchor in a Bay in some part of which it is probable that Tasman anchored." Beaglehole comments upon this entry by indicating that the bay was Admiralty Bay, off D'Urville Island, but nowhere near Tasman's first anchorage which was in Golden Bay.
