In 1770, Captain James Cook visited Savu, staying three days before continuing on to Batavia. It was the first European voyage to have scientists on
board. During the three year expedition, botanists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander collected over three thousand five hundred plant species along
with specimens of animals, minerals and ethnographic materials that on their return fascinated Europeans. Cook's visit to Savu was brief and, though
he and Joseph Banks produced detailed records of the island and its people, their accounts were based for the most part on information provided by
Mr Lange, the German representative of the Dutch East India Company, who was stationed on Savu at the time. (Lavalon tourist info NTT)
