THE NARRATIVE OF A VOYAGE OF
DISCOVERY, performed in His Majesty’s Vessel the Lady Nelson, of
Sixty Tons Burthen, with Sliding Keels, in the Years 1800, 1801, and 1802,
to New South Wales. By James Grant, Lieutenant in the Royal Navy.
Including Remarks on the Cape de Verd Islands, Cape of Good Hope, the
hitherto Unknown Parts of New Holland, discovered by him in his Passage
(the first ever attempted from Europe) through the Streight separating
that Island from the land discovered by Van Dieman [sic]: Together with
Various Details of his Interviews with the Natives of New South Wales;
Observations on the Soil, Natural Productions, &c. not known or very
slightly treated of by former Navigators; with his Voyage home in the Brig
Anna Josepha round Cape Horn; and an Account of the Present State
of the Falkland Islands. To which is prefixed an Account of the Origin
of Sliding Keels, and the Advantages resulting from their Use; With an
Appendix of Orders, Certificates, and Examinations, relative to the Trial
Cutter. The Whole illustrated with elegant Engravigs. London: Printed
by C. Roworth, Bell Yard, Fleet Street, for T. Egerton, Military Library,
Whitehall. 1803. Demy 4to, First Edition; pp. [iv](title & dedication,
versos blank), [ii](List of Encouragers), [viii](Contents, last Erratum &
Directions to the Binder), [v]-xxvi(An Account of the Origin of Sliding
Keels), [ii](blank), 196(last blank); large folding plan of the sliding keels,
folding chart, 1 coloured & 5 b/w. plates, appendix; neatly recased in
original papered boards (rebacked, with printed paper label in style similar

ends a little worn); entirely uncut and unopened; an exceptionally fine
& clean copy; rare. London; Printed for T. Egerton; 1803. ***Ferguson
375; Wantrup 75; Hill, page 126. This copy is complete with the rare “List
of Encouragers” leaf AND the blank leaf d4, neither mentioned by Ferguson,
and one or both not present in most copies. The plates and chart were all
engraved by S. I. Neele, 352 Strand and it seems that the work was not in
fact published until 1804 as while the coloured plate of the Crested Cockatoo
and the plate of the Lady Nelson in the Thames are dated July 1st, 1803 and
the chart is dated Dec. 27th 1803, the remaining plates (except that of the
sliding keels which is undated) are all dated Jan. 10th 1804. Never having
been rebound, this copy has the plates all together, before the main text, with
the result that the fine coloured plate of the Crested Cockatoo which almost
invariably has the text offset across it, is here unmarked and in its original
glory. The “Lady Nelson” was originally sent out for Matthew Flinders’ use
on his circumnavigation of Australia, and accompanied him when he set off,
but her slow sailing meant she was unable to keep up and was forced to turn
back when she ran aground off the Queensland coast. The voyage included
the first navigation of Bass Strait from West to East. The “Lady Nelson”
was an experimental vessel, and her performance was of considerable interest
to nautical science. Grant was given commmand rather than the designer
Captain Schanck, as it was thought that the experiment would be given a
fairer trial. The sliding keels did not, however, make the impact expected
in spite of the advantage they presented for surveying in shallow waters.

61 Parkin, Ray. H. M. BARK ENDEAVOUR. Her place in Australian

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

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 longoverdue 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
2013.

2013.
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
