HISTORY OF THE SHIP HMS ENDEAVOUR TO BUILD ITS WOODEN MODEL

Assemble the wooden model ahip of the British vessel HMS Endeavour, initially coal ship and later converted to carry out long expeditions of Captain James Cook across the great South Sea.

Launched in 1764 and chosen by the aforementioned sailor four years later to prepare for his historic voyage, HMS Endeavour was part of important discoveries. It discovered Australia and facilitated the location of Tahiti, New Zealand and many islands in the Pacific Ocean, as well as animal and plant species previously unknown in Europe.

Likewise, all this adventure undertaken from the United Kingdom allowed the calculation of the position in longitude with great precision by means of mathematical formulas. In this sense, the contribution of James Cook's travels to navigation, seafaring and geographical exploration have an absolutely historical importance.

Now, the modeler has the fabulous wooden model ship kit to build the HMS Endeavour. A must in any naval modeling collection!
