HMB Endeavour carried the famous scientist Sir Joseph Banks and his entourage, including his two greyhounds! Apparently he paid GBP10,000 to sail on the Endeavour which in todays currency is around AUD1.5M. For this he was allocated Captain Cook's cabin and shared the Great Cabin during the 3 year voyage. As he was well over 6ft the berth was too small so the 2 greyhounds slept in the cabin and he slept on the floor in the great cabin. There was a shell collection and other personal items in the cabin.
