HMB Endeavour is one of the world's most accurate maritime reproductions.
The barque is a modest vessel, the original being launched in 1764 as the collier Earl of Pembroke, later commissioned as His Majesty's Bark the Endeavour, she departed Plymouth in August 1768, rounded Cape Horn, and reached Tahiti in time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. In April 1770, Endeavour became the first ocean vessel to reach the east coast of Australia, when Captain James Cook went ashore at what is now known as Botany Bay.
She was scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island in 1778.
