Endeavour: The Ship That Changed the World by Peter Moore is a work of narrative maritime history that examines the construction, voyage, and afterlife of HMS Endeavour, best known for carrying James Cook on his first Pacific expedition. Blending archival research with cultural and scientific history, Moore situates the ship within the broader contexts of eighteenth-century exploration, imperial expansion, and Enlightenment science. The book traces Endeavour’s transformation from a coal carrier to an exploratory vessel and emphasizes its enduring symbolic significance.
