HISTORY BRITISH SHIP HMS ENDEAVOUR
Launched in 1765 and chosen by James Cook three years later to prepare his historic voyage, the ship HMS Endeavour was part of important discoveries. Thanks to this British ship, Australia was discovered and Tahiti and numerous islands were located. In addition, new animal and plant species hitherto unknown in Europe were discovered. And, finally, it allowed for the first time the calculation with great precision of the position in longitude by means of mathematical formulas.

In short, the contribution of James Cook’s voyages to navigation, seamanship and geographical exploration are of historical importance.
