Captain James Cook’s first ship was to be the endeavour, of 366 tons, built as the collier Earl of Pembroke. She was a small, sturdy “bark”, an unpretentious ship which had been employed in both the coastal and the Scandinavian trade in which Cook would have felt thoroughly at home. Just 97.7 feet (29 metres) on the lower deck, her beam was 29.1 feet (9metres). Refitted for the expedition, her hull as doubled with oak to resist against worm, this oak being heavily studded with wide-headed iron nails.
Cook doubled Cape Horn, crossed the Pacific by way of Tahiti where he carried out his mission of observing the transit of Venus, coasted New Zealand and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and returned by way of the East Indies and Cape Town. The accuracy of his running surveys has to be o seen to be believed.
