History of the Yacht Endeavour

The yacht Endeavour was built in 1934 as a J-class racing yacht by Camper & Nicholson in Portsmouth, England, for Thomas Sopwith, who sailed her in the 1934 America's Cup race. She lost in that race, but won many others.
In 1937 she was laid up, until she was bought in 1984 by Elizabeth Meyer who undertook a five year rebuild. Endeavour sailed again in 1989 and has taken part in regattas since.

The Endeavour model, photos, description and dimensions

The ship model was built to plans of Bernd Jocham. Please take your time to have a good look at the set of photos. There are several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions, and several closer views of hull, deck and rigging.  If you click on a photo you will get that photo in high resolution. Only these high resolution photographs show how much work and handicraft ability were put in the model.
Viewing the high resolution photos: If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a larger screen with the photos. The high resolution photos are about 12 megapixel. So they are about 10 - 20  times larger than your 0.5 - 1.3 megapixel computer screen. Most browsers by default downsize the pictures to screen size, so you cannot see all the details of the ship models. To see the original resolution  move the mouse over the pictures and click on the magnifying lens.
