Work began on Bond’s gift to the nation, the replica of the Endeavour, in 1988, and had to be called to a halt when the Bond Corporation ran into trouble a few years later. Volunteers maintained the unfinished vessel until a charitable foundation was set up to complete the work, and the boat was launched in 1993. It has since circumnavigated the globe, and still sails on Sydney Harbour as a museum ship. Without Alan Bond’s vision and energy, it would not be there — it was just unfortunate he left it in such a shambles that others had to step in and finish the job. It remains the perfect epitaph to an imperfect man.
