Description
Endeavour, the ship that changed the course of history, has a story that has never been told before. Recently discovered off the coast of America, this humble vessel was bought by the Royal Navy in 1768 for an expedition to the South Seas. Its journey would take it to the farthest reaches of the globe, carrying some of the most successful explorers of all time.
From the oak tree that grew into the ship's frame, to its rich and complex legacy, Peter Moore sets out to explore the different lives of this remarkable ship. With a fascinating and detailed narrative, Moore brings us an acute insight into the ship that carried Captain James Cook on his first great voyage.
This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in history, adventure, and science. With its unique blend of stories and facts, Endeavour is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to explore the lesser-known corners of the past.
