Discover the HMS Endeavour, a wooden model of this coal freighter reconverted for the long expeditions of James Cook by the great South Sea. Guided by our detailed step by step instructions you can complete your model of this famous ship.


Launched in 1765 and chosen by James Cook three years later to prepare his historic trip, the HMS Endeavour was part of important discoveries. Australia was discovered and Tahiti and numerous islands were located; animal and plant species hitherto unknown in Europe were discovered and for the first time it was calculated with great precision the position in latitude by mathematical formulas. The contribution of James Cook trips to navigation, seamanship and geographical exploration are of historical importance.
