...Funchal, at Madeira, was the first port of call for the Endeavour and for the ships of the second voyage. Here Cook took on supplies of beef, vegetables, water and wine...The Endeavour`s stores were replenished at Rio de Janeiro. Here neither officers nor scientists were allowed to stay on shore because the Portuguese suspected the purpose of the voyage to be smuggling rather than the advancement of the science.
