More than two and a half centuries after Captain James Cook arrived in Australia on the HM Bark Endeavour, the Australian National Maritime Museum has published its final report on the ship’s resting place.
The museum published a preliminary report in 2022 that a wreck in Newport Harbor, Rhode Island was the Lord Sandwich, which was previously known as the Endeavour.
The museum was confident of its identification but there was some transatlantic pushback and the museum continued its research for three more years.
