26 Parkin, Ray. H. M. BARK ENDEAVOUR. Her place in Australian
History. With an Account of her Construction, Crew and Equipment
and a Narrative of her Voyage on the East Coast of New Holland in
the Year 1770. With Plans, Charts and Illustrations by the Author.
Med. 4to, First Edition; pp. xii, 468; 25 maps, 31 full- &
half-page ship drawings and 12 smaller, several sourced from
original drawings by Sidney Parkinson, 2 reproductions of original
drawings by Parkinson, 15 other illustrations by Ray Parkin (mostly
views), notes, bibliography, index; original cloth, gilt; together
with, in cloth folding case, 15 detailed ship drawings and plans by
Ray Parkin, each 800 by 580 mm., and sourced from original
Admiralty drawings supplemented by sketches of Sidney Parkinson,
artist on the “Endeavour”; a fine set in cloth slipcase.
(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 twenty-five 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,
