    It looks well worth a visit if you are in the North East.

    Did anyone get photos of this being craned over the locks at the Tees Barrage?

    A technical question I hope someone can answer - Endeavour is referred to the as HM Bark Endeavour - I always thought the correct term should be "Barque" - am I missing something?

    Also, is this a new replica? I thought there already was one.

    I have always known and used the spelling barque. However it appears that bark and barc are also used spellings.
    Bark to me suggests trees and dogs - they do go together! :eek:

    I would have assumed just a variant spelling, not uncommon for words to be spelled differently in the past. However a quick glance at Wikipedia for barque reveals that this term for a particular rig only came into common English usage relatively late, and that the Royal Navy used the term for some vessels despite not complying with the barque rig.

    (Similarly I believe the navy referred to some ships as being sloops, not on the basis of size or rig but merely due to being commanded by a commander rather than a post-captain.)

    This is a non-sailing replica that has been at Stockton-on-Tees for a number of years - clearly pre-dating the present Tees Barrage arrangements! Brief details here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Endeavour#Replica_vessels

    The previous visitor to Whitby is a fully functioning replica based in Australia.

    Nineteenth century railway accident reports talk about having breaks rather than brakes as another example of different spellings for things.

    Not forgetting the GWR preference for 'all tickets must be shewn'. ;)

    Yes, ‘I shewed him my red flag’ crops up often. Also, ‘the train was horsed by...’ which I liked.

    Not just GWR - NER sign (I presume) using this spelling in Goathland Booking Office - and has in the past appeared in Heartbeat!

    There's a really nice video of her being towed down the coast on https://www.facebook.com/cooksendeavour/. She could just do with a bit more work to make her as convincing as she can be. For instance, a wooden deck laid on top of the steel plates would work wonders, and maybe the http://www.lnerca.org/home/about-us/ could be tempted into lending their scrumbling expertise to those big brown sides?
