[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. It becomes a bit of a melange of stories that researchers must pick apart, using archival evidence and first accounts, to get to something like a truth rather than just trading on the mythologies, Kevin says. [66] Finally, the rigging and pumps were renewed and fresh stores brought aboard for the return journey to England. [27] These cabins encircled the officer's mess. [50], The prospects if the ship sank were grim. Improvements in technology such as remote sensing and photogrammetry, which have been used to stitch together thousands of photos to create detailed 3D reconstructions of wreck sites helped, and by 2016 theyd mapped out eight of the 13 wreck sites. [66] Broken timbers were replaced and the hull recaulked, scraped of shellfish and marine flora, and repainted. Unlike the gin-clear waters of the Caribbean or Coral seas, theyre lucky to see further than 2m in Newport, but James loves working there, nonetheless. 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.

[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. She was bought by the Navy in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean. Unsurprisingly, Moore's account of the vessel's second incarnation is the part of the book that adds least to our knowledge because this subject has been so extensively researched already. [22] The impasse was broken when the Admiralty proposed James Cook, a naval officer with a background in mathematics and cartography. Museums around the world are already turning their attention to the significant Cook anniversaries on the horizon and the complex legacy of these expeditions. For a start, when Lord Sandwich arrived in Rhode Island, people may have had no idea it was the vessel that had sailed to Australia the 18th-century equivalent of having flown to the Moon. Endeavour was in Newport and might be found made her persevere.
