Young Endeavour

The STS Young Endeavour is a brigantine-rigged sail training ship operated by the Royal Australian Navy. It serves as a platform for youth development, delivering challenging sail training programs designed to build teamwork, leadership, and resilience. While owned by the Australian Government, it is crewed by Navy personnel who facilitate voyages for young Australians.

The vessel was constructed in the United Kingdom by Brooke Marine as a gift from the British Government to Australia to mark the 1988 Bicentenary. It was officially handed over in Sydney on January 25, 1988, and subsequently entered service under the administration of the Young Endeavour Youth Scheme. Over its decades of service, the ship has completed several circumnavigations of the globe and participated in numerous international tall ship events. It remains active, continuing its mission of youth development and maritime training.
