Description
The Endeavour replica was assembled using traditional shipbuilding methods and materials where possible; the only changes were to meet modern safety standards, and enhance the longevity of the replica. The vessel's hull is built from jarrah, with oregon pine also used above the waterline: although oak and elm were used in the original ship, the decision was made not to use these as they were more susceptible to rotting. Although some of the wood was fresh-cut, much of it was salvaged from demolished buildings and bridges, or taken from trees felled during construction work or storms.
This picture was taken 4th of October 2013, during International Navy Fleet Review in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia.
