The Britain-Australia Bicentennial Committee (BABC) was established to organise and co-ordinate British participation in the Australian Bicentenary, 1988. Celebrations began in the United Kingdom in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight on 13 May, 1987 marking the bicentenary of the sailing of the First Fleet. Through the BABC Regional and Specialist Sub-committees hundreds of diverse projects, activities and events were planned for 1987 and 1988. The BABC recommended that Britain's official Bicentennial gift should be a purpose-built ship to provide sail training and facilities for maritime exploration and research. The schooner "Young Endeavour" was delivered to Sydney Harbour on 25 January, 1988. The Chairman of the BABC was Sir Peter Gadsden.
