H.M. Bark Endeavour book

No aspect of the ship is too insignificant for Parkin's enquiries.  How many strands of yarn were there in the ship's cable?  (954).   Did the ship have a lightning conductor?  (yes).  What was the diameter of her main mast?  (21 inches).  These details are illustrated by plans and figures depicting the ship's architecture and construction, her deck plan, rigging, sails, armament, boats, cables, anchors and accommodation, beautifully drawn by Parkin himself.

The text also contains a composite log of Endeavour's voyage up the east coast of Australia.  Extracts from journals kept by those on board are supplemented by an interpretative commentary and made easy to follow by a series of explanatory charts.  HM Bark Endeavour is a fitting companion and supplement to standard works on Cook's voyage.
