I saw the Endeavour Replica in Darling Harbor, Sydney recently and took some photographs.

She looked to me to be in remarkably good condition after such a long voyage, though of course I could not see below the waterline, nor check for teredo damage.

I was glad to have the opportunity to see the real thing and get the feel of the size of the ship and the complexity of the rigging.
