With this, Captain <strong>James Cook<\/strong> discovered Australia and made it easier to know where Tahiti, New Zealand and many other islands were located. Thanks to its existence, <strong>new animal and plant species<\/strong> were also discovered. Likewise, it allowed the calculation with great precision of the <strong> position in longitude<\/strong> by means of mathematical formulas. So the contribution of James Cook&#8217;s voyages to <strong>navigation, seamanship and geographical exploration<\/strong> are undoubtedly of historical importance. It is an ideal time for us to immerse ourselves, then, a little more in the <strong>history of HMB Endeavour<\/strong>. Precisely, a few months ago the <strong>location and existence of the wreck<\/strong> was confirmed, as can be read in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiangeographic.com.au\/news\/2022\/02\/captain-cooks-ship-endeavour-found-in-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interesting article from Australian Geographic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>HMB Endeavour was 32 meters long, 8.9 meters wide and 3.4 meters deep. Her rigging was of the frigate type. Speaking of its armament, it had <strong>22 guns<\/strong>: 10 4-pounders and 12 swivel. Regarding the <strong>sail<\/strong>, it had <strong>897 square meters<\/strong>. This allowed it to reach <strong>speeds of 7 to 8 knots<\/strong> (13 to 15 km per hour).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7683 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"History of the 18th Century British Survey Ship HMB Endeavour (Source: Australian National Maritime Museum).\" src=\"https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour.jpg\" alt=\"History of the 18th Century British Survey Ship HMB Endeavour.\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/hms-endeavour-1000x1000.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>HISTORY OF HMB ENDEAVOUR: PIONEER OF THE MODERN OCEANOGRAPHIC RESEARCH SHIP<\/h2>\n<p>More than two and a half centuries ago, an English coal ship originally called the Earl of Pembroke (1764) emerged as the <strong>forerunner of the oceanographic research ship<\/strong> of our times. The <strong>HMB Endeavour<\/strong> and its own history are essential, they marked an era and a change in knowledge. It all started with the efforts of British Royal Navy Captain James Cook -at the time a lieutenant-. Mount your first major expedition to the South Sea.

Being a coal ship, even having been converted into a research vessel, it had enormous holds that were modified in order to <strong>store provisions<\/strong>. As they were used up, those spaces were occupied by <strong>instruments, plants and animals<\/strong> that they found during their journey. The organization of its crew was spectacular: sailors for naval operations, officers and infantrymen for shipboard discipline and external attacks, and scientists and artists to study and reflect on milestones.<\/p>\n<p>On April 10th, 1769, HMB Endeavour reached Tahiti after passing through Madeira, Rio de Janeiro and Cape Horn. Unfortunately, <strong>exact measurements could not be obtained<\/strong> with the transit of Venus since the planet had a very diffuse profile. At least, yes, the astronomer Charles Green was able to appreciate and record it. The challenge was only achieved <strong>one hundred years later thanks to photography<\/strong>. In July, Cook opened a secret letter from the Navy Department urging him to find Australia.<\/p>\n<h2>HISTORY OF HMB ENDEAVOUR: THE DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA<\/h2>\n<p>For half a year, the HMB Endeavour <strong>circled New Zealand<\/strong> and realized that it was <strong>not a continent<\/strong> but islands. In 1770 Cook claimed them as British after <strong>mapping almost four thousand kilometers of coastline<\/strong> in three months.<\/p>\n<p>It was precisely in April of that same year when it ran into the <strong>east coast of Australia<\/strong>, which it bordered towards the north until in June <strong>it ran aground<\/strong> on the <strong>Great Barrier Reef<\/strong> Coral. In this sense, he managed to free the ship, although with damage to the hull that was attempted to be repaired. After setting foot on land again, they continued west but this time he learned his lesson. A <strong>auxiliary boat<\/strong> led the expedition to <strong>measure the depth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The history of HMB Endeavour continued heading west until October, the month in which it arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia. There he took advantage of three months to repair the ship, however, many lives of the crew were lost due to malaria. At Christmas, he headed home and on July 12, 1771, the port of Dover (England) received the HMS Endeavor with <strong>38 fewer crew members<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7689 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"Hull repairs in Jakarta (Source: Nautical News Today).\" src=\"https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/endeavour-reparation.jpg\" alt=\"Hull repairs in Jakarta.\" width=\"900\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/endeavour-reparation.jpg 900w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/endeavour-reparation-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/endeavour-reparation-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artesanialatina.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/endeavour-reparation-460x300.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After James Cook&#8217;s expedition, HMB Endeavour was used for <strong>military purposes<\/strong> until it was decommissioned in 1774, to be sold and renamed Lord Sandwich in 1775. Its last service was fighting in the US War of Independence. It was <strong>sunk<\/strong> in <strong>Narragansett Bay<\/strong> to prevent the French landing at Newport in the Battle of Rhode Island.
