<p>Would you sail the vast Pacific in a three-masted ship built in North Vancouver? This is the true story of Canada's forgotten Lady of the Sea, the <em>Monte Cristo</em>. Young sailors who jumped at the chance in 1970 to sail to Tahiti met Marlon Brando and made ready for Apollo 13's landing. With her name changed to <em>Endeavour II</em>, she greeted the Queen in Australia as the feature ship of the Bicentenary of Capt. Cook's landing at Botany Bay.</p><p>There were fights among the crew and a mutiny that nearly wreaked her in Brisbane. Then she turned to New Zealand. It did not end well.</p>
