This ship is a full scale replica of Captain James Cook’s original
Although the same size, this replica is built with a steel frame rather than timber and is not designed to go to sea.
The boat is permanently in Stockton, although there is a second full-size replica in existance which does tour the world.

Not designed to go to sea. Is that feature or a design flaw.
It wouldn’t be able to get under any of the bridges now without completely removing its masts. Even then perhaps not at all as the Tees is not longer tidal in Stockton since the Tees Barage was finishing in the 1990s
Below the waterline it is a simple ‘boxy’ barge shape. There is a Golden Hind built in a similar style in Brixham
