Arrival On Board Events Departure
| A series of events had been arranged for the stay of Endeavour at Whitehaven and these included; an evening on board with entertainment and a meal done in 18th century style, a sponsored rig climb and a couple of firework displays. |
| The rig climb involved climbing up the rigging on the main mast to the top in order to raise money for charity through sponsorship. The first person to brave the climb was a local policeman who went right up to the top gallant with less sign of nerves than many of those left on the harbourside looking up at him. Having lead the way many others followed. |
| All these fear conquering heroes made it to the fighting tops which was certainly high enough to say they deservedly earned the money they made for charity from sponsorship. Half the money went to the Endeavour and half to local charities including the Maritime festival fund. |
| A special fire work display was produced for Nelson's birthday and to mark the start of the Year of the Sea . |
