A group of researchers believe that they have found the wreckage of british explorer Captain James Cook's ship, the Endeavor. The ship was believed to have been renamed and repurposed as a part of a blockade during the American Revolution, but was scuttled, sunk on purpose, off of the shore of Rhode Island. The RIMAP (Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Program) believe that they have discovered the Endeavor in one of 9 graveyards containing 13 other vessels. I think that this is cool, as Captain Cook was the first European in the Hawaiian islands.
