Endeavour replica voyage to Australia planned for 1970
The plan to sail a copy of Captain Cook's Endeavour to Australia in 1970 proceeds after a rough start. Admiral Sir Charles Madden becomes executive secretary of the Endeavour Trust, coordinating British and Australian committees. Lord Boyd chairs the British committee. Alan Villiers, skipper, had favored a film-inspired model but denied the claim. The ship is due to reach Sydney by January or February 1970 for the bicentenary of Cook's first voyage.
