Model ship kit of the HMS Endeavour, wooden model by Artesania Latina on a scale of 1:65
History of the original:
Build the wooden model of the British ship HMS Endeavour, which was originally a coal ship and was later converted to carry out Captain James Cook's long expeditions through the Great South Seas. Today it is known as a barque.
Launched in 1764 and chosen four years later by the aforementioned sailor to prepare for his historic voyage, HMS Endeavour was involved in important discoveries. She discovered Australia and made it possible to locate Tahiti, New Zealand and numerous islands in the Pacific Ocean, as well as discovering animal and plant species previously unknown in Europe.
All these adventures, undertaken from the United Kingdom, made it possible to calculate longitude with great accuracy using mathematical formulae. In this sense, the contribution of James Cook's voyages to navigation, seafaring and geographical exploration is of absolute historical importance.
The new model kit of the research vessel and former coaling ship HMS Endeavour has been completely redesigned. Our 3D designers and modellers have followed all available historical documentation on this fabulous ship letter for letter to make this miniature replica as real and similar to the original ship as possible. A painstaking job that has been completed with an exceptional result.
A must in every ship modelling collection!
