The physical Endeavour: how a wooden ship shaped Cook's first circumnavigation
Journal Publication ResearchOnline@JCUBrennan, Claire
Abstract
This article examines the role of his vessel in James Cook’s first Pacific voyage. The Endeavour strongly influenced what Cook was able to attempt and its limitations directed the course of the voyage. A close reading of the journals of Cook and Joseph Banks reveals the ways in which the physical conditions of the vessel influenced the voyage and casts fresh light on the Endeavour’s voyage around the world.
