The First Fleet is unable to leave…

January 1788 CE

The First Fleet is unable to leave Botany Bay until January 26 because of a tremendous gale, which also prevents Lapérouse's ships from entering the bay.
 
The British receive him courteously, and each captain, through their officers, offers the other assistance and needed supplies.

The fleet weighs anchor on January 26 and sails to Port Jackson.
