For the first time overnight Sydney Harbour sails are being offered to allow people to experience life as an 18th century crew member without the toil (and possible seasickness!) of sailing on the high seas.

Endeavour will sail past iconic structures such as the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. You'll watch the sunset over the water before enjoying an 18th century themed dinner.

Guest speakers will give a special presentation on Cook's voyage before everyone bunks down for the night in the 18th century mess deck hammocks.A hearty sailor's breakfast will be served the next morning, before heading back to the museum.

Places are available on:
Sat 3 April - 'Joseph Banks' adventures in botany' - Dr Brett Summerell and botanical illustrator Catherine Wardrop from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, will look at the work of Joseph Banks and his colleagues on the voyage.

Mon 5 April - 'Voyaging in the wake of Cook' - Dr Nigel Erskine Curator of Exploration at the museum will speak about Captain James Cook and his epic voyage.
