| | ASTA - Sailing Aboard HMS Endeavour |
 | | Endeavour is a three-masted majestic square rigger with nine square sails and a dozen smaller sails and measures 109 feet, three inches long and 29 feet, two inches on the beam. |
 | | Endeavour is surveyed to ASA USL 2A, which gives her an unlimited international range as a sailing cargo ship and meets standards certified by the National Maritime Museum and the Australian National Maritime Museum. |
 | | Endeavour is operated as a traditional three-watch sailing vessel, with voyage crew taking on a demanding schedule of sailing around the clock, lectures, eating, swabbing the decks, and falling asleep (usually in a state of fatigue) in hammocks. |
