First edition. *This first edition is printed on superior paper and limited to 1,000 copies for sale, all of which were sold out immediately on publication. This copy is signed by the author on the title page. The Endeavour is one of the most famous ships in maritime history, yet surprisingly few details of her were known to any but a small number of maritime historians. More than twenty-five years ago Ray Parkin, seaman, author and artist, was amazed to find how little was known and recorded of this ship, and set out to document everything he could discover. His researches were encouraged by the renowned scholar and chronicler of James Cook, Professor J. C. Beaglehole. The result is the most painstaking study of the Endeavour yet undertaken and a unique account of a great voyage of discovery: the passage of the Endeavour up the east coast of Australia (then called New Holland) in the year 1770.
