HMB Endeavour 250th Anniversary - Behind the News

Learn about Captain James Cook and his famous voyage on board the Endeavour, during which he charted New Zealand and the Eastern coast of Australia (0:56). The National Maritime Museum gives Amelia a tour of the HM Bark Endeavour Replica, which was built to be as close as possible to the original ship sailed by Cook (9:23). We explore the lasting impact of the Endeavour’s arrival on Australia’s First Peoples (13:46) and take a look at how Australia has changed in the 250 years since Cook’s arrival (20:15).
