| Captain Cooks Ship,Endeavour,set
sail in 1768 with a crew of 80 (including twelve marines
to prevent mutiny aboard ship) and also 3 scientists,
including the botanist Sir Joseph Banks. The voyage was
to view the transit of Venus from Tahiti, and also to
search the unexplored part of the Southern Hemisphere for
a new continent, or to ascertain that it only contained a
vast Ocean. However new land was discovered and in 1769
the Endeavour dropped anchor in Poverty Bay New Zealand
and later in 1770 Captain Cook landed in Botany Bay (present
day New South Wales Australia.) These pictures are of a replica of Captain Cook's original vessel and this ship has been refitted at Cardiff Bay South Wales (March 2003.) The pictures on this page show the replica vessel undergoing her refit,with masts removed. The web-site link is her official web-site and you can sign on to join as a working crew-member or follow her travels around the Globe. |
