History of the Ship HMS Endeavour to Build Its Wooden Model:
Assemble the wooden model of the British ship HMS Endeavour, initially coal ship and later converted to carry out long expeditions of Captain James Cook across the great South Sea. Now it is know as a bark. 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.
