"A View of the 'Endeavour's' Watering Place in the Bay of Good Success (Tierra del Fuego) on route to Tahiti" is an 18th-century artwork by Scottish artist Alexander Buchan. Buchan was a landscape artist who accompanied British explorer James Cook on his first voyage to the Pacific aboard the HMS Endeavour from 1768 to 1771. This voyage aimed to observe the transit of Venus across the Sun and to secretly search for the fabled southern continent, Terra Australis.

The artwork captures a scene from the voyage when the Endeavour anchored in the Bay of Good Success, Tierra del Fuego, near the southern tip of South America. The bay served as a watering place for the ship, a crucial stop to replenish fresh water supplies. Buchan's work provides a visual record of the rugged landscape and harsh conditions faced by the crew during their brief sojourn in this remote part of the world.

Buchan's role on the voyage was to document the expedition's findings through illustrations, including landscapes, coastal profiles, and scenes of indigenous peoples and their way of life. His works are significant historical records of the places visited by the Endeavour and contribute to the visual understanding of the regions during the Age of Discovery.

"A View of the 'Endeavour's' Watering Place in the Bay of Good Success (Tierra del Fuego) on route to Tahiti" is notable for its detailed depiction of the natural environment and the activities of the crew. The artwork is one of the few surviving pieces by Buchan, as he tragically died of epilepsy in Tahiti during the voyage. His contributions, however, remain an important part of the artistic and scientific legacy of Cook's expeditions. The artwork is held in various collections and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
