HM BARK ENDEAVOUR REPLICA LAUNCH 1993

This clip is derived from what is believed to the only Super16 flim footage of the launch in 1993.

I am unable to find details of the musical performers so any info available on their names, contact info and copyright attributions to the music will be greatly appreciated.

Origination on a CP16R 16mm motion picture camera converted to Super16. Vignetting of the original Angenieux 10x150 zoom can be seen. There was also a shutter timing issue at the time which is visible as a smear on right edge of image.

I was 7 when this happened, and I have never laughed so hard as I laughed at the guy who was crying on the mic as the ship slid into the water.

@Zebonka I think John Longley was pretty emotional at the time. It had been a long hard slog. The "No-no-no" I think was when the spectator fleet looked like it was going to get creamed by Endeavour when she swung in the breeze, then "The Navy's good" when the tug got in there.

Excellent, where is the model, Whitby Museum?

[DARANGULAFILM]

The model which appears in the clip was at the construction shed in Fremantle in 1993. Where it is now I don't know. It might be at the Fremantle Maritime Museum.

A few of the original Endeavour Volunteers moved to the "B Shed" maritime museum before the new one was built nearby.

I sailed 9 days on it as voyage crew in New Zealand in 2000. Most anyone can sail on her as a crew member for a voyage or as a passenger. Info at the ships website. Put HM Bark Endeavour in a search engine. It might only sail in Australia for the foreseeable future. It's a replica of a ship Captain Cook sailed around the world in the 1770's. Nearly an exact replica. They had the original 1770's plans when they made the replica.

[DARANGULAFILM]

When Endeavour was launched, her planned service life as commercially registered seaworthy vessel was 20 years (2013 approx) and from that point on, she would be retired to static exhibition in Sydney.

For the sake of authenticity, modern interior fitment necessary for commercial register would be removed.

The growing community of friends of Endeavour might prefer her modern iteration be retained. This Endeavour's own history has brought pleasure to many people.

We all had the unprecedented afternoon off from school that day to see the Endeavour coming back into Whitby harbour, I will never forget that day. :)

I used to know someone who had the chance to help with the carpentry. He turned it down! The most stupid choice any man could make.
