US EditionCaptain Cook’s missing ship found after sinking 250 years ago
- The Australian National Maritime Museum announced in a detailed 25-year study that a shipwreck in Newport Harbour, Rhode Island, is HMS Endeavour.
- This conclusion comes after detailed underwater archaeological work and archival study, but the research was challenged by a key partner organization, which described the identification as premature and questioned the findings.
- Experts matched British timbers and unique features like the stem scarf from the wreck to historical plans, confirming close correspondence with Endeavour's original structure.
- Museum director Daryl Karp described the report as the final outcome of a quarter-century of thorough archaeological research and underwater investigations focused on this significant ship.
- The confirmation identifies the shipwreck’s final resting place in the US and highlights future challenges for site preservation amid ongoing debate about the ship’s significance.
