  • Two hundred and forty-six years ago, James Cook landed

  • on the east coast of Australia for the first time.

  • The ship that brought him here was the HMS Endeavour,

  • a British Royal Navy research vessel.

  • But what was life like for the 94 people aboard that

  • long journey to the other side of the world? Take a look.

  • [# Reporter] It was the year 1768, first Lieutenant James Cook

  • and his men set sail aboard the HMS Endeavour.

  • [NARRATOR] At 2 p.m. we got under sail and put to sea,

  • having on board 94 persons near 18 months' provisions and stores of all kinds.

  • Their aim was to observe a rare event when the planet Venus moved across the sun,

  • but they also had a secret mission to find the rumoured

  • Great South Land and claim it for England.

  • It was an epic three year journey that shaped our

  • country's history, but the ship that made it possible

  • sank years later and its full wreckage has never been found.

  • So in the 1980s, historians helped build this -

  • a replica of the Endeavour in all its 18th century glory.

  • [Mike] The ship itself is sailed exactly the same way,

  • is exactly the same. So we still play the same game if you like

  • as Cook's men did so many years ago.

  • # Now the ship's docked at port so kids can hop aboard and explore

  • what it would've been like to be on Cook's famous voyage.

  • Above deck, the ship is just like it would've been

  • more than 200 years ago, right down to the toilets.

  • [Guide] This was their toilet paper! Into the bucket of saltwater,

  • wipe their bottoms and that was it.

  • # Down below, the ship is also decked out like the 1700s;

  • from an old school oven, to canons, even the ship's cat!

  • There was also another kind of cat that kept the

  • crew in order, the dreaded cat-o-nine-tails!

  • [Guide] If someone was going to be punished for say, disobeying an order that an officer gave them,

  • they'd probably get 12 lashes with this cat across their bareback.

  • It'd probably be pretty annoyingcause you'd have

  • to follow everybody's rules, like the Captain's rules

  • cause you don't want to get whipped.

  • # Something else that would have been tough on the

  • crew was the food.

  • So this is where the crew would've eaten all their meals,

  • breakfast, lunch and dinner.

  • Things like porridge, maybe a thin boiled soup

  • with some meat in it and even this -

  • a biscuit called Hard Tack. Hmm, maybe not.

  • The kitchen area doubled as another room too.

  • And this is where the crew would've slept. Pretty comfy really, not bad.

  • I actually can't believe how many people could fit on this boat.

  • And how humid it is and really hot it wouldve been.

  • But for some crew members things weren't so bad.

  • And this would've been a luxury cabin. Top class.

  • It's a little small, but not bad!

  • It's the kind of room the gentlemen onboard like

  • James Cook and botanist Joseph Banks would've had.

  • And this is where Captain Cook would've spent most of his time,

  • sitting right here on the original Endeavour,

  • most of the time charting his maps and eating his meals.

  • I thought everything was really cool, but I really

  • liked going into Captain Cook's like cabin,

  • I thought that was really cool.

  • I think it was great, like how it shows, like what it

  • was like, how many ropes there were, how much they had to do.

  • # So it seems James Cook and the Endeavour have inspired

  • some of us to take the helm and sail the high seas

  • on a voyage of discovery! Well, maybe one day.
