Launched in 1764 as the merchant collier 'Earl of Pembroke', the ship was purchased in 1768 by the Royal Navy for £2,300, renamed 'Endeavour', and refitted for Cook’s expedition to view the transit of Venus from Tahiti, and then to look for the Southern Continent. This expedition was to turn into Cook's first circumnavigation of the globe.
