In the "age of exploration" Longboats served as vital workhorses.
Launched in 1765 and chosen by James Cook three years later to prepare his historic voyage, the ship HMS Endeavour was
part of important discoveries. Thanks to this British ship, Australia, Tahiti and numerous islands
were located. In addition, new animal and plant species unknown in Europe were discovered. And, finally, it allowed
for the first time, the calculation with great precision of the position in longitude by means of mathematical
formulas.
In short, the contribution of James Cook's voyages to navigation, seamanship and geographical exploration are of
historical importance
