Youre hoping to find something like this, but its a long bow to draw, Kevin says. ^[d] The pressed man was John Thurman, born in New York but a British subject and therefore eligible for involuntary impressment aboard a Royal Navy vessel. [71] The ship remained in port for four weeks awaiting the recovery of the crew and undergoing minor repairs to her masts. HMS Endeavour, also known as HM Bark Endeavour, was a British Royal Navy ship commanded by Lieutenant James Cook on his first voyage of discovery to Australia and New Zealand from 1769 to 1771. [133], At Whitby the "Bark Endeavour Whitby" is a scaled-down replica of the original ship. While Cook was fted for his successful voyage, Endeavour was largely forgotten. She was 3 years old, built by Fishburn of Whitby and owned by Thomas Milner. This taught us to meticulously research and not to be so gung-ho as to make claims that wont stand up to testing, Kevin says, explaining that it is exactly that careful approach that RIMAP and the ANMM are now taking with a wreck off Goat Island that they increasingly suspect is Endeavour. Surrounded by pieces of oakum from the fother, this coral fragment had helped plug the hole in the hull and preserved the ship from sinking on the reef. The reef Endeavour had struck rose so steeply from the seabed that although the ship was hard aground, Cook measured depths up to 70 feet (21m) less than one ship's length away. [131][132], The Russell Museum, in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, has a sailing one-fifth scale replica of Endeavour. Within this group, they suspected HMB Endeavour, a 368-tonne vessel, was likely to be at least a third bigger than any of the other transports. After the outbreak of war in the American colonies in 1775, the British government was desperate for civilian ships to help it transport troops to quash the rebellion. [54], Endeavour then resumed her course northward and parallel to the reef, the crew looking for a safe harbour in which to make repairs. ^[g] The abbreviation "HMS" was not in use at the time,[142] but "His/Her Majesty's Ship" was, and this is a valid if less precise way to refer to the Endeavour. The transit of Venus across the Sun occurred on 3 June, and was observed and recorded by astronomer Charles Green from Endeavour's deck. [11] She was a type known locally as the 'Whitby Cat'. [70], On 13 March 1771, Endeavour rounded the Cape of Good Hope and made port in Cape Town two days later. A decade later, in January 1788, the First Fleet arrived in Australia, an event that today has a complex and controversial legacy, much as Cooks voyage does. She was not seeking Endeavour in fact, as an American, it was barely on her radar. [11][84] Mather returned her to sea for at least one commercial voyage to Archangel in Russia. [65], After riding at anchor for two weeks, Endeavour was heaved out of the water on 9 November and laid on her side for repairs. They were seeking funds to build facilities for handling and storing recovered objects. People ask why would two of the vessels that sailed around the world with Cook end up in Newport Harbour. Earl of Pembroke, a class A tall ship available for all kind of corporate and private clients. [99] Confirmation that Cook's former ship had indeed been in Newport Harbor sparked public interest in locating her wreck. In 2006 RIMAP announced that the wrecks were unlikely to be raised. In 1768 the British Admiralty purchased it to take an expedition of Royal Society scientists, as supernumeraries to the In 1997, however, Australian amateur historians Des Liddy and Mike Connell uncovered clues in a shipping register that Endeavour was, in fact, renamed Lord Sandwich and that La Libert was actually HMS Resolution, which Cook sailed on his second and third voyages. [55] Cook attempted to enter the river mouth, but strong winds and rain prevented Endeavour from crossing the bar until the morning of 17 June. [96], In 1834 a letter appeared in the Providence Journal of Rhode Island, drawing attention to the possible presence of the former Endeavour on the seabed of the bay. The older remains were those of a wooden vessel of approximately the same size, and possibly a similar design and materials as Lord Sandwich ex Endeavour. During the ship's stay in Batavia, all but 10 of the 94people aboard had been taken ill with malaria and dysentery. The ship was launched in 1764 as the Earl of Pembroke. Four years later, it was renamed Endeavour by Britain's navy and was readied for a major scientific voyage to the Pacific. What remained certain was that after Cook returned in 1771 from his first South Pacific voyage, the Endeavour was immediately refitted as a naval transport. Han var knd fr sin skicklighet i hstbrytning.Kapten Cooks bermda fartyg, HMS Endeavour, var tidigare MS Earl of Pembroke, sjsatt 1765 och uppkallat efter . In 1886, the Working Men's Progress Association of Cooktown sought to recover the sixcannon thrown overboard when Endeavour grounded on the Great Barrier Reef. [97] It was later suggested Libert, which sank off Newport in 1793, was in fact another of Cook's ships, the former HMS Resolution,[98] or another Endeavour, a naval schooner sold out of service in 1782. ^[b] In today's terms, this equates to a valuation for Endeavour of approximately 265,000 and a purchase price of 326,400. Other ways Endeavour might be confirmed include finding repairs that match what was done to her either after her grounding in the Great Barrier Reef or in later refits, or finding unique quirks of her design, such as an unusual keelson structure that was added to vessels built at Whitby. The restoration was designed with festivals and film work in mind. [60] By 26 August she was out of sight of land, and had entered the open waters of the Torres Strait between Australia and New Guinea, earlier navigated by Luis Vez de Torres in 1606. The Bark, Earl of Pembroke, later Endeavour, leaving Whitby Harbour in 1768. [47] They were finally recovered in 1969 by a research team from the American Academy of Natural Sciences,[114] using a sophisticated magnetometer to locate the cannon, a quantity of iron ballast and the abandoned bower anchor. James Cook in his own documentation of the voyage referred to it as "His Britannick Majesty's Bark" but occasionally as "His Britannick Majesty's Ship". I didnt stand up in the reading room of the Public Records Office and scream I found it!, because you dont do that, but it was exciting, she says. [46], Cook then ordered that the ship be lightened to help her float off the reef. [37] While in port, an accident cost the life of master's mate Robert Weir, who became entangled in the anchor cable and was dragged overboard when the anchor was released. Cooks time in Australia was over, and although he would lead two more voyages of discovery, Endeavour was in a woeful state and no longer suitable to meet the rigours of such journeys. The shipyard diorama, is complete with ship's fittings, including rudder, galley stove, cannon, gratings, ship's boats, spars . [113], Searches were resumed for the lost Endeavour Reef cannon, but expeditions in 1966, 1967, and 1968 were unsuccessful. She reached Tahiti on 10 April,[41] where she remained for the next three months. "[64] An inspection of the hull revealed that some unrepaired planks were cut through to within 18inch (3mm). University of Sydney provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU. She was bought by the Navy in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean. In 1768, Earl of Pembroke was sold into the service of the Royal Navy and the Royal Society. born 9 June 1758, Pembroke House. Endeavour was built as Earl of Pembroke in 1764 as a coal transport ship. From 1768 to 1771, the Endeavour sailed the South Pacific, ostensibly to record the transit of Venus in Tahiti in 1769. In part-constructed state, ready for launch, with upper deck beams in place but decking missing. Indeed, that was the second time the vessel had been renamed its life began in 1764 in Whitby, Yorkshire, as the Earl of Pembroke, where it toiled as a collier transporting coal. A fost mutat n Marea Britanie n 1980, unde a nceput restaurarea complet n 1985. Cited in Baines. It underwent a major refit to accommodate a larger crew and sufficient provisions for a long voyage. The ship was launched in 1764 as the Earl of Pembroke. [61], After a three-day layover off the island of Savu, Endeavour sailed on to Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, on 10 October. Originally launched in 1764 as the Earl of Pembroke, the ship was renamed Endeavour in 1768 by Britain's Royal Navy and prepared for a major scientific voyage to the Pacific. To prevent the latter the British commander, Captain John Brisbane, determined to blockade the bay by sinking surplus vessels at its mouth. which was first christened the Earl of Pembroke before it was . [1][b] She was refitted at Deptford by the dock's master shipwright Adam Hayes on the River Thames for the sum of 2,294, almost the price of the ship itself. HMS Endeavour was launched in 1764 in Whitby, northern England, then as a coal carrier named Earl of Pembroke. Thats an amazing coincidence, Kathy agrees. Excavation and timber analysis is expected to provide final confirmation. Its almost like reaching back through time, to be able to touch that ship that witnessed so much.. It was, in fact, [botanist] Joseph Banks who was lauded on their return and Cooks fame comes a little later. Endeavour was paid off in September 1774,[83] being sold in March 1775 by the Royal Navy to shipping magnate J. Mather for 645. Painting by Thomas Luny, 1790. A series of dives in September 2019 started excavations, revealing part of the ships structure and making some interesting discoveries. Conservation work on the cannon was undertaken by the Australian National Maritime Museum,[115] after which two of the cannon were displayed at its headquarters in Sydney's Darling Harbour, and eventually put on display at Botany Bay and the National Museum of Australia in Canberra[116] (with a replica remaining at the museum). On 15 August 1776 Lord Sandwich 2 was anchored at Sandy Hook; also assembled there was Adventure, which had sailed with Resolution on Cook's second voyage, now a storeship, captained by John Hallum. A replica of Endeavour was launched in 1994 and is berthed alongside the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney Harbour. From 1768 to 1771 Endeavour sailed the South Pacific, primarily to record the transit of Venus in Tahiti in 1769. The theory gained weight following an archival discovery by Kathy Abbass, director of the Rhode Island project, in 2016, which indicated that Lord Sandwich had been used as a troop transport and prison ship during the American War of Independence before being scuttled in Newport Harbour in 1778. From filming to festivals to passengers and trainees she can cater for almost everything. Thinking that renaming her would fool Deptford Yard, Mather resubmitted Endeavour under the name Lord Sandwich. And if we can prove we have the Lord Sandwich, then we know we have Endeavour. Some of these things might be artefacts from her time as a prison hulk or even inscriptions scratched into the walls by known American revolutionaries detained on board. [68] Jonathan Monkhouse, who had proposed fothering the ship to save her from sinking on the reef, died on 6 February, followed six days later by ship's carpenter John Seetterly, whose skilled repair work in Batavia had allowed Endeavour to resume her voyage. If so, this would more closely conform with both naval standards and the lengths of the other masts. The French had by then entered the war on the side of the Americans, and with a fleet of their warships poised to take Newport, Lord Sandwich was among 13 vessels deliberately sunk in formation by the British to block access to the harbour. Today she is rigged as three masted barque resembling the famous Endeavour on board of which Captain Cook discovered Australia . The remains of a cannon at shipwreck site RI 2394 off Newport, Rhode Island in the USA. Things were valued differently then. He was a working-class guy who learnt all these skills as a navigator, cartographer and sailor. Theyve lost this strategic and economically important base in America and maybe it makes them start thinking about. So, if we can find everything in this study area, and say which is the biggest, then thats likely to be Endeavour, Kathy says. In September 1769, she anchored off New Zealand, becoming the first European vessel to reach the islands since Abel Tasman's Heemskerck 127 years earlier. He died of disease on 3 February 1771, during the voyage between Batavia and Cape Town. [42] Unfamiliar with such ships, the Mori people at Cook's first landing point in Poverty Bay thought the ship was a floating island, or a gigantic bird from their mythical homeland of Hawaiki. How Captain Cook became a contested national symbol. On the rear lower deck, cabins facing on to the mate's mess were assigned to Lieutenants Zachary Hickes and John Gore, ship's surgeon William Monkhouse, the gunner Stephen Forwood, ship's master Robert Molyneux, and the captain's clerk Richard Orton. She grounded briefly on a sand spit but was refloated an hour later and warped into the river proper by early afternoon. [72] On 15 April, the sick were brought back on board along with ten recruits from Cape Town, and Endeavour resumed her homeward voyage. Kathy is often asked if the plan is to raise the wreck, but this is very unlikely. She was a collapsible vessel and was no sooner built than taken apart, and the pieces were stowed in Endeavour. She was later converted into the HMS Endeavour and used by English naval officer and cartographer James Cook on his 1768-1771 voyage of exploration to Australia and the South Pacific. [41] On his return, Endeavour resumed her voyage westward, her crew sighting the east coast of Australia on 19 April. She was renamed in 1775 after being sold into private hands, and used to transport timber from the Baltic. Minutes of the Royal Navy Victualling Board, 15 June 1768, cited in Beaglehole 1968, p. 613, Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, European and American voyages of scientific exploration, "Shipwreck confirmed as Captain Cook's Endeavour after 22-year search", John F.

In keeping with the ambitious spirit of the era, the vessel was renamed His Majestys Bark (HMB) Endeavour (bark being a nautical term to describe a ship with three masts or more). TNA ADM 106/3402 5 February 1776. [20] Royal approval was granted for the expedition, and the Admiralty elected to combine the scientific voyage with a confidential mission to search the south Pacific for signs of the postulated continent Terra Australis Incognita (or "unknown southern land"). Endeavour then sailed north along the Australian coast. Cook noted it was a "surprise to every one who saw her bottom how we had kept her above water" for the previous three-month voyage across open seas. During her travels, Endeavour and her crew would chart an entirely new hemisphere. An attempt to land the pinnace on the Austral Island of Rurutu was thwarted by rough surf and the rocky shoreline. [9] The ship was again commemorated in the naming of the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1989. [122], In January 1988, to commemorate the Australian Bicentenary of European settlement in Australia, work began in Fremantle, Western Australia, on a replica of Endeavour. [41], Cook attributed the sickness to polluted drinking water, and ordered that it be purified with lime juice, but this had little effect. But with changes to the way we source, produce, use and store energy, just what is in store? It doesnt look like much at all, says ANMM maritime archaeologist and curator Dr James Hunter. Construction. [14], There is uncertainty about the height of her standing masts, as surviving diagrams of Endeavour depict the body of the vessel only, and not the mast plan. The ship was also renamed to 'Earl of Pembroke', in homage to 'HMS Endeavour's' original name. Lord Sandwich was one of a number of transport ships deliberately sunk by the British in an attempt to prevent the French fleet from approaching the shore. The ship itself was more incidental.. Her hull, internal floors, and futtocks were built from traditional white oak, her keel and stern post from elm, and her masts from pine and fir. He was born 10 Sept 1759 (NOT 20 Sept), either Wilton House or Whitehall, London (must be Pembroke House). 5s. How Captain Cook became a contested national symbol, Transit of Venus: a tale of two expeditions. The ship was launched in 1764 as the Earl of Pembroke. (Some think Luny painted another ship after Endeavour became famous.) Museums around the world are already turning their attention to the significant Cook anniversaries on the horizon and the complex legacy of these expeditions. [85], Once the American War of Independence had commenced, the British government needed ships to carry troops and materiel across the Atlantic. It was a ploy to take a vessel in very poorly condition and play on the pride and ego of Lord Sandwich himself, Kevin says. A third cannon and the bower anchor were displayed at the James Cook Museum in Cooktown,[117] with the remaining three at the National Maritime Museum in London, the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia,[114] and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa in Wellington. It was more of the cult of the individual, Kevin says. [48], When, by Cook's reckoning, about 40 to 50 long tons (41 to 51t) of equipment had been thrown overboard, on the next high tide a second unsuccessful attempt was made to pull the ship free. In 1768 the Royal Navy agreed to support a scientific expedition to Tahiti by providing a ship and its crew. Australian researchers suggested the Endeavour had in fact been renamed Lord Sandwich. Thats when they had an incredible stroke of luck that helped narrow their search. Another marvellous and unexpected find was the scuttling hole that had been punched through the outer hull, proving the vessel was one of the transport fleet that had been deliberately sunk. . On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [66] Broken timbers were replaced and the hull recaulked, scraped of shellfish and marine flora, and repainted. A surprising chain of events saw it caught up in the 17751783 American War of Independence, and it eventually ended up on the murky sea floor of a historic harbour in Rhode Island, USA, where what remains of it still resides. There are more than 230 historic wrecks in this important colonial harbour. Our approach is to just open it up enough to get the data we need and take care of the artefacts that are there, she says. It was critical in identifying the position of Lord Sandwich as being among a group of five of the 13 vessels to the north-west of Goat Island. [89] The crossing was stormy, with two Hessians who were in the same fleet making accounts of the voyage. [6] Endeavour spent the next six months sailing close to shore,[41] while Cook mapped the coastline and concluded that New Zealand comprised two large islands and was not the hoped-for Terra Australis. [66], Though Endeavour was now in good condition, her crew were not. Others rejected this theory, suggesting instead that Endeavour had spent her final days on the river Thames. [75], Approximately one month after his return, Cook was promoted to the rank of Commander, and by November 1771 was in receipt of Admiralty Orders for a second expedition, this time aboard HMS Resolution. Endeavour was scuttled on 4 August 1778 and Cooks own demise followed just six months later, on 14 February 1779. ORIGIN OF H.M. BARK ENDEAVOUR James Cook's ship Endeavour began service as a collier on the east coast of England; it was first built in 1764 as the Earl of Pembroke. As the first European seafaring vessel to reach the east coast of Australia, the Endeavour much like James Cook himself has become part of Australias national mythology. Box of coral concretions from the cannons of the hmb "Endeavour". [139] Cook noted that disease of various kinds had broken out aboard every ship berthed in Batavia at the time, and that "this seems to have been a year of General sickness over most parts of India" and in England. Coral, iron oxide. In a serendipitous twist, it coincides with two significant dates: the 250th anniversary of the Endeavours departure from England in 1768 on its now (in)famous voyage south, and the 240th anniversary of the ships scuttling in 1778 during the American War of Independence. These included traces of leather, textiles, glass, ceramics, coal and ballast, as well as a gunflint fragment and a fragment of a kaolin pipe stem manufactured between 1750 and 1800, says Dr Kerry Lynch, an archaeologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and RIMAPs field director. [129][130] While it reflects the external dimensions of Cook's vessel, this replica was constructed with a steel rather than a timber frame, has one less internal deck than the original, and is not designed to go to sea. [118], Endeavour's Pacific voyage was further commemorated in the use of her image on the reverse of the New Zealand fifty-cent coin. [31] Ten 4-pounder cannon were brought aboard, six of which were mounted on the upper deck with the remainder stowed in the hold. While Endeavour played an instrumental role in advancing science and exploration, its arrival in what is now known as Botany Bay in 1770 also precipitated the occupation of territory that its Aboriginal owners never ceded. and assigned for use in the Society's expedition. Subsequent sleuthing through historic records by experts including Dr Kathy Abbass, director of the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP), has painted a remarkable picture of Endeavours final years as Lord Sandwich, including its role as a troop transport, shipping German Hessian mercenaries who hailed from the southern German province of Hesse-Cassel, to America to fight for the British. Australias red goshawk once ruled the skies. [103], In September 2018, Fairfax Media reported that archaeologists from RIMAP had pinpointed the final resting place of the vessel. [37] Thurman journeyed with Endeavour to Tahiti where he was promoted to the position of sailmaker's assistant, and then to New Zealand and Australia. For several years he hauled coal along the English coast. A breakthrough came in 1997. [51] Despite this, Joseph Banks noted in his journal the calm efficiency of the crew in the face of danger, contrary to stories he had heard of seamen panicking or refusing orders in such circumstances. Part 2", "Preliminary Report on the Australian National Maritime Museum's participation in the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project's search for HMB Endeavour", "The Fate of Cook's Ships: What Do We Know About The Endeavour? Those expecting an entire ship to be recovered will be disappointed, as very little of it remains. [94][f] Lord Sandwich 2, previously Endeavour, previously Earl of Pembroke, was sunk on 4 August 1778. Earl of Pembroke a fost construit n Pukavik, Suedia ca Orion n 1945 i obinuia s trag cherestea n Marea Baltic pn n 1974, cnd a fost depus n Thisted, Danemarca.. Restaurare. [69] The health of the surviving crew members then slowly improved as the month progressed, with the last deaths from disease being three ordinary seamen on 27 February. The small scale model ship of Cook's Endeavour is handmade from scratch. He was bapt 29 Oct 1759, St Martin in the Fields, See entryfrom here. What were dealing with is what we can see above the surface of the silt. Australian National Maritime Museum Its a relatively unknown end for HMB Endeavour, but its also interesting for such a significant vessel to end up in an engagement so fundamental to the British decision to colonise Australia.. 12, "Endeavour Was Well Fitted For Voyage of Discovery", "The replica HM Bark Endeavour: History of Bark Endeavour and Captain Cook", "The Fate of Cook's Ships: Cook's Ships A Summary Update", "The Fate of Cook's Ships: What Do We Know About The Endeavour? Kathy formed RIMAP in 1993 to study some of the wrecks of those involved in the American Revolution. [97] A further letter to the Providence Journal stated that a retired English sailor was conducting guided tours of a hulk on the River Thames as late as 1825, claiming that the ship had once been Cook's Endeavour. evidence that this wreck is Endeavour during 2020 to coincide with events marking 250 years since Cook arrived in Australia theres no guarantee yet they have the right ship. [110], In addition to the search for the remains of the ship herself, there was substantial Australian interest in locating relics of the ship's south Pacific voyage. She was launched in 1764 as the collier Earl of Pembroke, with the Navy purchasing her in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean and to explore the seas for the surmised Terra Australis Incognita or "unknown southern land". She was about 30 metres long, designed to handle shallow draughts, and to be beached and repaired without a dry dock. HMS Endeavour was a British Royal Navy research vessel that Lieutenant James Cook commanded to Australia and New Zealand on his first voyage of discovery from 1768 to 1771. [97], In 1991 the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP) began research into the identity of the thirteen transports sunk as part of the Newport blockade of 1778, including Lord Sandwich. When you get a model like that you can pull back and see the whole thing It was a eureka moment, says James. Transit of Venus: a tale of two expeditions. [50] The anchors were retrieved, except for one which could not be freed from the seabed and had to be abandoned. The Admiralty valuation for 10 of the sunken vessels recorded that many had been built in Yorkshire, and the details of the Lord Sandwich transport matched those of the former Endeavour including construction in Whitby, a burthen of 368+7194tons, and re-entry into Navy service on 10 February 1776. Painting by Thomas Luny, c. 1790. [104] The possible discovery was hailed as a "hugely significant moment" in Australian history, but researchers have warned they were yet to "definitively" confirm whether the wreck had been located. As part of the restoration, her rig was changed from the original schooner to barque type (to resemble the famous HMS ENDEAVOUR on which Captain Cook discovered Australia) and she was renamed as EARL OF PEMBROKE. In April 1770, Endeavour became the first European ship to reach the east coast of Australia, with Cook going ashore at what is now known as Botany Bay. [134], A 25-foot (7.6m) replica of the ship is displayed in the Cleveland Centre, Middlesbrough, England.[135]. Built in 1764 in Whitby, England, as a collier (coal carrier), the vessel was originally named Earl of Pembroke. Rhode Island volunteers have been searching for this vessel since 1993, slowly narrowing down the search area and eliminating potential contenders as they explore the often-murky waters of Newport Harbour. Carpenter's Report, J. Seetterly, 10 October 1770, cited in Hosty and Hundley 2003, pp. Identifying the Endeavours location has been a 25-year processs. Osana restaurointi, hnen kamppeet oli muuttunut alkuperisest kuunari on parkki tyyppi (muistuttamaan kuuluisa HMS Endeavour johon Captain Cook lysi Australia) ja hn oli nimettiin uudelleen Earl of Pembroke (HMS Endeavouria kutsuttiin Earl of Pembrokeiksi, kun hn tyskenteli kivihiilikauppiaana Lnsimaassa). [39] The crew were sent to collect wood and water, while Banks and his team gathered hundreds of plant specimens from along the icy shore. The discovery has therefore resolved a long-standing maritime mystery. [15] If correct, this would produce an oddly truncated mast a full 9 feet (2.7m) shorter than the naval standards of the day. In the 1700s, it was standard after a scuttling for a surveyor to record the precise locations of where ships went down. RIMAP's lead investigator stated that "there has been no indisputable data found to prove the site is that iconic vessel, and there are many unanswered questions that could overturn such an identification". [11], On 21 July 1768, Endeavour sailed to Gallion's Reach to take on armaments to protect her against potentially hostile Pacific island natives. Endeavour was originally the merchant collier Earl of Pembroke, built by Thomas Fishburn for Thomas Millner, launched in June 1764 from the coal and whaling port of Whitby in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Get a completed model boat of Cook's Endeavour. The first, under the command of sailing master John Dykes, was to deliver "sufficient provisions to serve 350 men to the end of the year 1772";[80] she sailed from Portsmouth on 8 November 1771, but due to terrible weather did not arrive at Port Egmont (the British base in the Falkland Islands) until 1 March. Researchers, including Australian maritime archaeologists, believe they have found Captain Cooks historic ship HMB Endeavour in Newport Harbour, Rhode Island. The remnants of La Libert disappeared long ago beneath land reclaimed as a parking lot, but its stern post, thought to be that of Endeavour, arrived in Australia for the bicentenary in 1988.
