(Melbourne); The Miegunyah Press; (1997). ***Edition limited to 1000 copies for sale. Number Thirteen in the second Miegunyah Press series. A magnificent production; a long-overdue detailed analysis of Captain James Cook s ship, fully placed in the context of her time. The Endeavour is one of the most famous ships in maritime history, yet surprisingly few details of her were known to any but a small number of maritime historians. More than twentyfive years before publication of this book, Ray Parkin, seaman, author and artist was amazed to find how little was known and recorded of this ship, and set out to document everything he could discover. His researches were encouraged by that renowned scholar and chronicler of James Cook, Professor J. C. Beaglehole. The result is the most painstaking study of the Endeavour yet undertaken and a unique account of a great voyage of discovery: the passage of the Endeavour up the east coast of Australia (then called New Holland) in the year 1770. Written for the scholar, mariner and layperson alike, Ray Parkin has recreated for the reader the very experience of being on board H. M. Bark Endeavour.
With meticulous research, he reveals what she looked like, how she sailed, how she smelled; all aspects of daily life on board. No part of the ship or her functioning is too insignificant for his enquiries. How many strands of yarn were there in the ships cable? (954) Did the ship have a lightning conductor? (Yes) What was the diameter of the main mast? (21 inches). The work is divided into two sections: Part I, The World of the Ship, details the sailor and his environment, the Captain, the ship herself, scurvy and provisioning, the ship s company, and remarks on individuals come to notice through misfortune or by their sins and adventures. The text is accompanied by a series of plans and figures depicting the ship s architecture and construction, her deck plan, rigging, sails, armament, boats, cables, anchors and accommodation. Fifteen of these are reproduced as large folding full-size sketches in the accompanying folding case. Part II, The Voyage (up the east coast of Australia), is a masterly synthesis of the Ships Log and the journals of James Cook, Sydney Parkinson and Joseph Banks, supplemented where illuminating and appropriate, by extracts from the journals of other members of the ship s complement, and with an interpretive commentary and clearly drawn explanatory charts. The Author, Ray Parkin, was born in Melbourne and joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1928, spending eighteen years in the service. He was on board HMAS Perth in 1942 when the cruiser was sunk in Sunda Strait, killing two thirds of her complement. After the sinking Mr Parkin spent three and a half years as a Japanese prisoner of war in Java, on the Burma-Siam railway and in coal mines in Japan. His vivid accounts of these experiences in World War II were published by the Hogarth Press: Out of the Smoke (1960), Into the Smother (1963), and The Sword and the Blossom (1967). At the end of the war Mr Parkin completed a fine arts course. He worked on the Melbourne waterfront until his retirement in 1975 when he went to London to continue his research on the Endeavour. H. M. Bark Endeavour, is an absorbing book: discursive, erudite, at times poetic; full of wisdom, insight and information. It is an ESSENTIAL companion and supplement to the standard works on Cook s voyages. Sadly, Ray Parkin died in May, 2005. #49819 A$450.00
