New York: Marine archaeologists believe they have finally identified the resting place of HMB Endeavour, the ship James Cook commanded to Australia on his first voyage of discovery, an achievement that would solve one of the greatest maritime mysteries of all time.

The breakthrough has raised hopes the remains of the vessel will be excavated next year, in time for the 250th anniversary of Cook's arrival in Australia.

In April 1770, Endeavour became the first ship to reach the east coast of mainland Australia, when Captain Cook arrived at the site now known as Botany Bay.

I think it should go to Aus, it's most significant contribution to history. the endeavour's history with America and UK is rather sad really. Hell of a voyage to New Holland.

Their goal in voyaging to Botany Bay was to observe Venus crossing the Sun from that location.

IF it can be extracted from the water, its a billion dollar tourist attraction for eternity so everyone will want a slice of that pie.

Personally I hope it can't be brought up, its there as an attraction for those that can dive or get there.

they built a replica here, https://www.anmm.gov.au/whats-on/vessels/hmb-endeavour
