Young Endeavour

Endeav1



Where    : Sydney Harbour

When     : Friday 12th February 2010

Weapon  : Sony P72





I was out with a few pals fishing when we were passed at high noon closely by the Young Endeavour.



What a fine looking vessel she is too.  no, she is a beautiful chip.  My word, I was quite taken aback as she sailed past just 30 metres away.



STS Young Endeavour is an Australian tall ship, presented as a gift from the United Kingdom for Australia's bicentenary of colonisation in 1988. She operates as a sail training vessel and is operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The vessel was designed by naval architect Colin Mudie and is brigantine rigged.

The ship conducts voyages for young Australians aged between 16 and 23 years. 24 'youth crew' are selected by ballot process twice a year, for an eleven-day voyage.
