    Re: Ship Identified as Captain Cook's Endeavour

    Hi Frank

    I was a bit surprised when it surfaced (so to speak) in our local news headlines.

    As you point out - the tone of the headlines suggest prior problems in this long venture between Australia and USA to discover Endeavour's resting place.

    As a New Zealander - Australians are known to get into splats easily but they are are more friendly spats with their pro-USA colleagues.

    Kiwis (New Zealanders) are less pro-USA than pro-UK being Australia was a penal dumping ground for UK whereas NZ was not.

    However, that aside, it does seem a little dogmatic of Australia claiming 'Ownership Rights' given the history of the Endeavour's final days as a Royal Navy's hire.

    It seems the Brits would have more ownership rights than Australia. 

    But hey nothing like a bit of good ole history to shove COVID off the front page for a few minutes.
