James Cook and his ship ENDEAVOUR

The ENDEAVOUR became famous as the expedition ship of James Cook. He set sail on 25 August 1768 from Plymouth to his study of the South Seas. On that journey he went to Tahiti, Tubuai and other islands, then to New Zealand, the northeast coast of Australia, and finally to Batavia. Via the Cape of Good Hope he returned to England, where he could throw anchors in the Downs on 12 July 1771.
