The Endeavour was built in England as an exploration ship in 1764. Long of 30 meters and broad of 9, this three-masted boat was under command by Captain Cook during the 1768 mission towards the islands of the Pacific, then in 1769 at the time of discovery of New-Zealand.

The model

This model of boat is of museum quality. It is manufactured by hand by Malagasy craftsmen under the direction of Herve Scrive. For an optimal fidelity to the model, the construction of the ship model uses the process of assembly of broadsides on couples (the boards forming the hull are fixed on the couples forming the internal frame of the ship). The bridge of the boat is lathed as on a full scale boat. The hull and the bridge are varnished in several layers. The vessel is made out of exotic wood chosen for their qualities in model making and for their colors.

Each ship model is numbered and accompanied by a historical summary engraved on wood.
