Archaeologists ‘very confident’ Rhode Island ship wreck is Cook's Endeavour

[@dw4956]

Captain Cook. Man, legend, hero.

[@robdurney948]

Good one Chris. Was getting into that story before you cut him off.

[@alexo2675]

Ironic that the Endeavour is found just as Australians, like most of the Anglo Saxon sphere mired in guilt and self-loathing, are starting to question their own history, culture and heritage

[@timeofyourlife7561]

History books dont have fairy tail endings. So get over 1788 and start living in 2022.

[@Peter-lm3ic]

Only the labourite type idiots are mired in guilt and self-lothing. Sensible anglo-saxons are not!

Why do we have to watch Australian news for news in America? Our news channels suck.

[@teresemiller3872]

Most of their customers are from America. Because they payout on Biden every 5 mins. Don't get me wrong I love Americans 💕. It's just what I've noticed.

[@tedgreen7547]

chris would not let this man talk would have been nice to here his story

[@paulorchard7960]

Old news, remember reading about this years ago! It was positively identified by the timber’s used in the repairs done at endeavour creek in North Queensland in 1770.

[@mrboogang]

Who would have thought that during the Americas Cup in 1983, Aussies were sailing over the wreck of the ship that founded and settled Australia! Awesome.

[@SmedleyDouwright]

Maybe Australian National Maritime Museum and RIMAP could build a small museum near the wreck to give the inevitable stream of "pilgrims" a destination to visit.

[@wallstreet_au]

leave it there? for what? The Americans dont know or care who he is. Hes not a significant figure in American history. Should bring back all if not a few relics from the find. Hes the reason for the country we enjoy today.

[@kungfutzu3779]

i agree we should bring it back to new zealand where it belongs!

[@wallstreet_au]

@@kungfutzu3779 new zealand isnt a real country anyway.

[@stenkarasin2091]

Brilliant work !

[@BD-yq1js]

What about the mandate protests in your country!!!

[@Peter-lm3ic]

The Endeavour a North Sea Whitby Cat disigned to carry coal from the Durham coalfields to London. To ride the waves of the North Sea not to cut through them.

[@hardmcshaft5665]

The guy from the maritime museum looks like Jeremy from river monsters

[@noelrossbridge2514]

Fair dinkum? We can't bring it home? Well that sucks.

[@dogzebra2708]

If it is true, you will have no problem finding someone in RI who can sell it to you guys. Don't listen to this expert, guaranteed there is a guy who knows a guy who get you a deal on it. It could be sitting in You museum next week. (For a small fee.)

[@warringtonfaust1088]

Rhode Island, I am sure a little searching around will produce 'a guy, who knows a guy and the endeavor could be in Australia in a week. As my father used to say, Rhode Island's motto is "Everything falls ff the truck in Rhode Island"

[@metalwitch58]

😡

[@jameswatt7249]

The wreck is not safe.

[@Greenpoloboy3]

true. It will never sail again 😔

[@sayit462]

As far as I,m concerned Captain cook discover Australia in 1770 .

[@underalions2023]

History fact. He never discovered Australia.. 1901 was when this land become named Australia... 1609 a Dutch bloke discovered this place he named it new Holland. Which is now western Australia.

[@jeremywillis7234]

@@underalions2023 that is true he wasn't the first person to step foot on Australia or discover

[@jarrodyuki7081]

oh well.

[@robb5642]

Just need this guy on the Joe Rogan podcast and then no debate. How we going with Egyptology btw? Those pesky Pyramids.

[@bemusedone162]

Where's the Dutch one that was here shitloads earlier,west coast?

[@aerotuc]

year but they did shit all when they were here by accident CAPTAIN COOK IS WHY YOU ARE ALIVE.

[@Critical-Thinker895]

Not sure why Australia is so keen on Captain Cook. Not only was he not the one to discover Australia he wasn't even the first Englishman to visit there.

[@aerotuc]

he was the greatest and the reason you are alive.

[@Critical-Thinker895]

@@aerotuc That is absolutely not true.

[@googlesuppressescomments]

These the same archeologists who try to convince us that monolithic structures were cut with bronze tools and transported with no beasts of burden? 🤔

[@gingertom56]

Kenny stop getting hard over the cooks ship it a British ship not Australia's.

[@prestondunn1991]

British or not, this is historical.
