Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 420 pages. The Enlightenment was an age of endeavours. From J ohnson's Dictionary to campaigns for liberty to schemes for measu ring the dimensions of the solar system, Britain was consumed by the impulse for grand projects, undertaken at speed. 'Endeavour' was also the name given to a Whitby collier bought by the Royal N avy in 1768 for an expedition to the South Seas. A commonplace, c oal-carrying vessel, no one could have guessed that Endeavour wou ld go on to become the most significant ship in the history of Br itish exploration. Endeavour famously carried James Cook on his first great voyage, visiting Pacific islands unknown to European geography, charting for the first time New Zealand and the easter n coast of Australia and almost foundering on the Great Barrier R eef. But Endeavour was a ship with many lives. She was there at t he Wilkes Riots in London in 1768. During the battles for control of New York in 1776 she witnessed the bloody birth of the United States of America. As well as carrying botanists, a Polynesian p riest and the remains of the first kangaroo to arrive in Britain, she transported Newcastle coal and Hessian soldiers. According t o Charles Darwin, she helped Cook add a hemisphere to the civilis ed world. NASA named a space shuttle after her. To others she wou ld be a toxic symbol, responsible for the dispossession of the ol dest continuous human society and the disruption of many others. No one has ever told Endeavour's complete story before. Peter Mo ore sets out to explore the different lives of this remarkable sh ip, from the acorn that grew into the oak that made her, to her r ich and complex legacy.
