When we passed the Isle of Lewis on our way to Oban the Chief Officer spotted the Endeavour heading towards Stornoway. This replica was built in Australia and on a world tour. It was quickly decided that we should try to meet with her. Below our approach to Stornoway with the Endeavour at the pier, to the right a larger picture of the Endeavour. |
As tall ship captains (and other tall ship crew members) probably all know each other quite well, we had the possibility of a guided tour of the Endeavour. Soon members of the volunteer crew were proudly showing us their ship, especially those parts which were designed as an exhibition. Space on a tall ship comes at a premium, most of the decks are very low. The guy on the right I think is about 6 feet tall, not a good size for this type of ship... If you look carefully you will also notice that the "benches" also double up as a storage box |
