[Redneck]

Interesting...I imagine it will be left resting where it is as it wouldnt be worth trying to salvage it after all this time.

Shipwreck found in US confirmed as Captain Cook's Endeavour after 22-year search, museum says

Maritime experts are convinced they have confirmed the final resting place of Captain James Cook's ship, Endeavour, after 22 years of searching.

The Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) announced a wreck in Newport Harbour, off Rhode Island in the United States, had been confirmed as the ship.

The Endeavour, which was scuttled in the harbour as part of the American War of Independence in 1788, has a prominent place in Australian history.

In 1770 it became the first European vessel to reach the east coast.

ANMM director and CEO, Kevin Sumption, said the confirmation was significant.

"I am satisfied that this is the final resting place of one of the most important and contentious vessels in Australia's maritime history," he said.

Maritime archaeologists have been investigating several 18th century shipwrecks in a 2 square mile (5.2 square kilometres) area, known as RI 2394, since 1999.

"The last pieces of the puzzle had to be confirmed before I felt able to make this call," Mr Sumption said.

"Based on archival and archaeological evidence, I'm convinced it's the Endeavour."

Originally launched in 1764 as the Earl of Pembroke, four years later it was renamed Endeavour by Britain's Royal Navy.

Over the next three years, the ship voyaged to the South Pacific, firstly on an astronomical mission to record the transit of Venus in Tahiti, before charting Australia's east coast and the coast of New Zealand in 1770.

The vessel lay forgotten for more than two centuries, after it was sold to private owners and deliberately sunk in 1778 by British forces.

Yes, I think it should be left in it's resting place

"While only 15 per cent of the vessel remains, efforts are now focused on how to protect and preserve it. "

There is nothing. It no worth any effort.

I can see it now.

Abbos demanding access to the wreck so they can burn it in a sign of solidarity.

And all the white abbos siding with them.

Oh, they woukd want it brought to the surface of course.

By someone else, after all they have no concept of doing anything for themselves.

Then they woukd demand the wreck as a "kultural item" so they coukd hold their primitive ritual of hate and malice.

They would have to use matches though, and probably some of their petrol from their sacred sniffing drum.
They couldnt start a fire if their lives depended on it


Moron

Why would they want it brought to the surface? More than likely it can't anyway

Projection on to what people would want to do is moronic and lets face it you're doing it from a racist perspective so stick it up your old ass

You are obviously not looking further than this forum.

Have a look at some of the posts on Facebook.
The abbos are frothing at the mouth
I have not heard such vitriol from anyone since Mo the mad was cacturised in France.

They are saying some truely repugnant things, I coukd never do it justice.

It's obvious they will never let go of the hate.
Even if they are 99% white and therefore 99% as responsible as any whitefella.

[Prime Minister for Canyons]

I'm judging you I don't care about others.


The abbos are frothing at the mouth. Yep, biased racist old fool.

And what right do you have for judging me?

Do you think you are superior in any way?

Have you walked a mile in my shoes?

Go find something to do more up your alley.
You know, genuflecting to one of your woke causes
Just like the brainwashed moron you are,
