Who discovered the Great Barrier Reef - 1 views

  • Captain James Cook discovered the Great Barrier Reef in 1770. He found it accidentally when his ship ran aground on the reef whilst he was charting the eastern coast of Australia.
  • His ship, the Endeavour, managed to stay afloat for another week whilst the crew sought desperately for land, eventually sighting the harbour formed by the Endeavour River. The ship was landed on 10 June 1770, and Cook spent almost two months repairing it, thus giving rise to the fledgling township of Cooktown.
