Deputy Director, Sydney Southeast Asia Centre, University of Sydney. From 1768 to 1771, the Endeavour sailed the South Pacific, ostensibly to record the transit of Venus in Tahiti in 1769. [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. [47] Remains of equipment left at Endeavour River were discovered in around 1900, and in 1913 the crew of a merchant steamer erroneously claimed to have recovered an Endeavour cannon from shallow water near the Reef. The story long believed to be true was that Endeavour was renamed La Libert and that it arrived in Rhode Island in 1793 as part of a French whaling fleet. [134], A 25-foot (7.6m) replica of the ship is displayed in the Cleveland Centre, Middlesbrough, England.[135]. As Australian Geographic goes to press, the team has dives planned in early 2020, which it is hopeful might turn up further elements of this mesh of proof. Built in 1764 in Whitby, England, as a collier (coal carrier), the vessel was originally named Earl of Pembroke. Things were valued differently then. "[64] An inspection of the hull revealed that some unrepaired planks were cut through to within 18inch (3mm). 5556. 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. Australian Geographic acknowledges the First Nations people of Australia as traditional custodians, and pay our respects to Elders past and present, and their stories and journeys that have lead us to where we are today. But once the Australian enthusiasts presented her with the first clue that Endeavour might lie among the 13 vessels RIMAP was investigating, she pulled together a small amount of money to get to London. He died of disease on 3 February 1771, during the voyage between Batavia and Cape Town. which was first christened the Earl of Pembroke before it was . Others rejected this theory, suggesting instead that Endeavour had spent her final days on the river Thames. [31] These were accompanied by two privately owned skiffs, one belonging to the boatswain John Gathrey, and the other to Banks. The sails were immediately taken down, a kedging anchor set and an unsuccessful attempt was made to drag the ship back to open water. 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. [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. In 1768, Earl of Pembroke was sold into the service of the Royal Navy and the Royal Society. [120] Apollo 15 took with it a small piece of wood claimed to be from Cook's ship. From 1768 to. 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. and assigned for use in the Society's expedition. IN 22 AUGUST 1770, the crew of HMB Endeavour, led by Lieutenant James Cook, reached Possession Island, off the northern tip of Australia. Write an article and join a growing community of more than 160,300 academics and researchers from 4,571 institutions. 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. ^[c] Provisions loaded at the outset of the voyage included 6,000 pieces of pork and 4,000 of beef, nine tons of bread, five tons of flour, three tons of sauerkraut, one ton of raisins and sundry quantities of cheese, salt, peas, oil, sugar and oatmeal. [22] The impasse was broken when the Admiralty proposed James Cook, a naval officer with a background in mathematics and cartography. [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. Repairs were made, with acceptance in her third submission, under the name Lord Sandwich 2 as there was already a transport ship called Lord Sandwich. Endeavour was in Newport and might be found made her persevere. Between 1771 and 1774, the Royal Navy used Endeavour to shuttle goods and troops to the British garrison on the Falkland Islands, off Argentina. Plans are now under way to raise funds to excavate and conduct scientific testing in 2019. It also appeared at a number of festivals, such as the Southampton Boat Show and Liverpool Maritime . 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. The shipyard diorama, is complete with ship's fittings, including rudder, galley stove, cannon, gratings, ship's boats, spars . Following Endeavours circumnavigation of the globe (1768-1771), the vessel was used as a store ship before the Royal Navy sold it in 1775. She was renamed in 1775 after being sold into private hands, and used to transport timber from the Baltic. 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. 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.. The NASA Space Shuttle Endeavour was named after this ship,[8] as was the command module of Apollo 15, which took a small piece of wood from Cook's ship into space,[9] and the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule C206 was christened Endeavour during Demo-2. Those still sick were taken ashore for treatment. .mw-parser-output .citation{word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}^[a] Other sources give Endeavour's length overall as 106ft (32m). [27] The refitted vessel was commissioned as His Majesty's Bark the Endeavour, to distinguish her from the 4-gun cutter HMSEndeavour. Researchers, including Australian maritime archaeologists, believe they have found Captain Cooks historic ship HMB Endeavour in Newport Harbour, Rhode Island. [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"). 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. Endeavour departed England in 1768 under the command of then-Lieutenant Cook. The three-masted ship was then used in films including Treasure Island, Count of Monte-Cristo, Shipwrecked, Cloud Atlas and Alice in Wonderland. This month, a joint diving team has worked to measure and inspect these sites, drawing upon knowledge of Endeavours size to identify a likely candidate. The discovery is the culmination of decades of work by the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project and the Australian National Maritime Museum to locate and positively identify the vessel, which had been missing from the historical record for over two centuries. [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. [34] Cook also ordered that twelve tons of pig iron be brought on board as sailing ballast. The ship was largely forgotten after her Pacific voyage, spending the next three years hauling troops and cargo to and from the Falkland Islands. [36], The first port of call was Funchal in the Madeira Islands, which Endeavour reached on 12 September. [66] Broken timbers were replaced and the hull recaulked, scraped of shellfish and marine flora, and repainted. [99] Confirmation that Cook's former ship had indeed been in Newport Harbor sparked public interest in locating her wreck. (Some think Luny painted another ship after Endeavour became famous.). Repairs and replenishment were completed by Christmas Day 1770, and the next day Endeavour weighed anchor and set sail westward towards the Indian Ocean. Any day I get to dive on a shipwreck is a good day, he says. [92][93] The island was taken but not subdued, and Lord Sandwich 2 was needed as a prison ship. [131][132], The Russell Museum, in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, has a sailing one-fifth scale replica of Endeavour. [12], A flat-bottomed design made her well-suited to sailing in shallow waters and allowed her to be beached for loading and unloading of cargo and for basic repairs without requiring a dry dock. In 2016 the ANMMs head of research. The ship was also renamed to 'Earl of Pembroke', in homage to 'HMS Endeavour's' original name. Dr Nigel Erskine, was scouring historic records at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, when he found just such a report. 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. Our assumption is that it is the later uses of the vessel as the Lord Sandwich the transport, her involvement in the Revolutionary War, holding prisoners onboard that are most likely to provide the evidence, Kathy explains. HMS Endeavour was a British Royal Navy bark-type research vessel. [15], On 16 February 1768, the Royal Society petitioned King George III to finance a scientific expedition to the Pacific to study and observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the sun. 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. [53] He was entrusted with supervising the task, sewing bits of oakum and wool into an old sail, which was then drawn under the ship to allow water pressure to force it into the hole in the hull. [87] As Lord Sandwich she was rejected in no uncertain terms: "Unfit for service. Her name was Endeavour. [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 formed RIMAP in 1993 to study some of the wrecks of those involved in the American Revolution. [102] In 2016 RIMAP concluded that there was a probability of 80 to 100% that the wreck of Endeavour was still in Newport Harbor, probably one of a cluster of five wrecks on the seafloor, and planned to investigate the ships and their artifacts further. [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. The wood used in Whitby is also very likely to have been distinct from that used in shipbuilding yards in North America, where some of the other scuttled vessels are believed to have been built. [136] So, there is an important connection to the American War of Independence. It doesnt look anything like a ship. Following a dispute with islanders, he was stabbed to death on the beach at Hawaiis Kealakekua Bay, where Resolution was moored for repairs. . [103], In September 2018, Fairfax Media reported that archaeologists from RIMAP had pinpointed the final resting place of the vessel. [46] The crew attached buoys to the discarded guns with the intention of retrieving them later,[47] but this proved impractical. Archaeologists initially identified 13 potential candidates in the harbour. It was, in fact, [botanist] Joseph Banks who was lauded on their return and Cooks fame comes a little later. Both Kathy and Kevin Sumption, the director of Sydneys ANMM, believe the later renaming was to curry favour with John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, who was Britains First Lord of the Admiralty and a patron of Cooks voyages. 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. To keep Endeavour's voyages and discoveries secret, Cook confiscated the log books and journals of all on board and ordered them to remain silent about where they had been. 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. All of those aspects of that ships history are fascinating, and those are the things we know the least about, James says. 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. Instead, the plan is to find a variety of clues indicating that this is Endeavour but the chance of her still containing any artefacts associated with Cook is very low. [26] The new cabins provided around 2 square metres (22sqft) of floorspace apiece being allocated to Cook and the Royal Society representatives: naturalist Joseph Banks, Banks' assistants Daniel Solander and Herman Spring, astronomer Charles Green, and artists Sydney Parkinson and Alexander Buchan. But the next site over could be the same size or more covered over There are all sorts of ways this might work out.. [42] Landfall was made at Huahine, Raiatea and Borabora, providing opportunities for Cook to claim each of them as British territories. 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. 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. [22] In refusing Dalrymple's command, Hawke was influenced by previous insubordination aboard the sloop HMSParamour in 1698, when naval officers had refused to take orders from civilian commander Dr. Edmond Halley. Raising vessels is very expensive and is inappropriate. [100][101] However, further mapping showed eight other 18th-century wrecks in Newport Harbor, some with features and conditions also consistent with Endeavour. Alcohol supplies consisted of 250 barrels of beer, 44 barrels of brandy and 17 barrels of rum. [67][e] By the time Endeavour set sail on 26 December, seven crew members had died and another forty were too sick to attend their duties. 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. The second voyage was to reduce the garrison and replace HM Sloop Hound, John Burr Commander, with a smaller vessel, namely the 36-ton shallop Penguin, commander Samuel Clayton. One problem has been the many names the vessel was known by during its lifetime. Endeavour as the Earl of Pembroke Aboard just such a vessel James Cook had begun his seafaring career as an 18-year-old apprentice. [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. The ship was launched in 1764 as the Earl of Pembroke. [66] Finally, the rigging and pumps were renewed and fresh stores brought aboard for the return journey to England. 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. [106] The RIMAP has called the announcement "premature"[107][108][109] and a "breach of contract", which the ANMM denies. 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. Fresh food and water were brought aboard and the ship departed for Cape Horn, which she reached during stormy weather on 13 January 1769. There are more than 230 historic wrecks in this important colonial harbour. 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. [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. He was born 10 Sept 1759 (NOT 20 Sept), either Wilton House or Whitehall, London (must be Pembroke House). [94][f] Lord Sandwich 2, previously Endeavour, previously Earl of Pembroke, was sunk on 4 August 1778. While everyone knows it as Cooks HMB (His Majestys Bark) Endeavour, it had a series of other lives it was a collier, Earl of Pembroke; a troop transport to the Falklands; and finally, Lord Sandwich, which played a part in the American Revolution. Shipwrecks are a productive starting point for thinking about how we make meaning from the past because of the firm hold they have on the public imagination. [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. ^[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. [88], Lord Sandwich 2, master William Author, sailed on 6 May 1776 from Portsmouth in a fleet of 100 vessels, 68 of which were transports, which was under orders to support Howe's campaign to capture New York. 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. But diving here, studying, and even just finding the wrecks, is difficult because visibility is poor and most of what remains of the 240-year-old wrecks is buried beneath the muddy seabed.
