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 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
