^[a] In today's terms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this equates to a valuation for Endeavour of approximately £265,000 and a purchase price of £326,400.[96]
^[b] Provisions loaded at the outset of the voyage included 6,000 pieces of pork and 4,000 of beef, nine tons of bread, five tons of flour, three tons of sauerkraut,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one ton of raisins and sundry quantities of cheese, salt, peas, oil,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sugar and oatmeal. Alcohol supplies consisted of 250 barrels of beer, 44 barrels of brandy and 17 barrels of rum.[97]
^[c] The shanghaiied man was John Thurman, born in New York but a British subject and therefore eligible for involuntary impressment aboard a Royal Navy vessel.[29] Thurman journeyed with Endeavour to Tahiti where he was promoted to the position of sailmaker's assistant, and then to New Zealand and Australia. He died of disease on 3 February 1771, during the voyage between Batavia and Cape Town.[98]
^[d] Some of Endeavour's crew also contracted an unspecified lung infection.[99] Cook noted that disease of various kinds had broken out aboard every ship berthed in Batavia at the time, and that "this seems to have been a year of General sickness over most parts of India" and in England.[99][100]
^[e] Navy vessels scuttled in Narragansett Bay from 3 August to 6 August 1778 included the frigates Juno 32, Lark 32, Orpheus 32,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Cerberus 28;[101] the galley Alarm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[74] and the transports Betty, Britannia, Earl of Oxford, Good Intent, Grand Duke of Russia, Lord Sandwich, Malaga, Rachel and Mary, Susanna, and Union.[102]
