The magnificent replica of Captain James Cooks famous ship of discovery returned to Sydney in April 2005 having completed 11 years of world voyaging. The HM Bark Endeavour Foundation who built and ran her, then handed the vessel over to the Australian Government for display at the Australian National Maritime Museum.
In 1768 when Cook set sail from Britain there was a group of gentlemen on board including Charles Green the astronomer and Joseph Banks the botanist. Having viewed the Transit of Venus in Tahiti, Cook circumnavigated and charted New Zealand before navigating Australias east coast, paving the way for British settlement.
A visit to Endeavour is a walk through history on this meticulously researched and outfitted museum ship - see the great cabin where Cook, Banks and company worked and dined; the mess deck where over 70 sailors, marines and servants slung their hammocks, ate their meals and relaxed off-watch; the huge iron firehearth where John Thompson, the one handed cook, prepared all the meals; surgeon William Munkhouses cabin... and much more.
