OK this has hit on one of my anorak topics - The Endeavour was a barque..... a Whitby Barque which Cook who was raised in that area was familiar with and suggested for that purpose ...so I meant it was designed for getting in close to shore rather than specifically for surveying.

So the chinese ships of 250 years earlier were dramatically larger.... but I am sure aculture as developed as Numenor's could deliver the goods.....
