In 1768 Lieutenant James Cook of the Royal Navy, set sail on HMS Endeavour on a voyage of exploration and scientific investigation. Through out his journey’s Cook is considered to be one of the great explorers of all time.
‘Officially’ Cook's voyage was a scientific expedition to observe an eclipse of Venus, June 1769, but secretly it was a commission by the English admiralty to find a mysterious southern continent, which had already been discovered and visited by Dutch explorers between 1605 - 1636. James Cook left from Plymouth and sailed around Cape Horn into the Pacific. After anchoring in Tahiti the Endeavour continued on to the North Island of New Zealand, then sailed on to the South Island. They discovered that neither island was connected to a large southern continent (Australia).
He then continued on to Tasmania and the east-coast of Australia where they anchored in what would be known as "Botany Bay". The virtues of the Endeavour, a very solid broad beamed and shallow draught Whitby Collier, were recognized by James Cook who once stated: "A better ship for such service I never could wish for".
This is your opportunity to own a piece of History.
