Nobody died from scurvy on Captain Cook's first voyage. He was very careful to include citrus syrups and sauerkraut as part of his crew's diet, to ensure that they did not succumb to scurvy. However, after departing from today's North Queensland, following necessary repairs to the Endeavour, many of the crew succumbed to dysentery and typhoid. Over thirty died at Batavia or on the return journey home via Cape Town, South Africa.
