22 NULL Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project The Vessels Lost in RI during the Revolutionary War - Part III https://www.rimap.org/the-other-vessels RIMAP’s study of the Newport transport fleet has generated a great amount of international interest in local maritime history because one of the vessels, the Lord Sandwich, had been Capt. Cook’s Endeavour Bark of his first circumnavigation. RIMAP’s historical studies of the transports overturned the 170-year-long history of where the Endeavour was to be found in Newport Harbor, and RIMAP’s archaeological investigations have focused on a group of five sites, one of which might be that iconic vessel. Continued RIMAP fieldwork has not generated adequate proof that one site, RI 2394, is the Endeavour, to the disappointment of others interested in Cook and his explorations. At the end of this study, and following UNESCO and State protocols, RIMAP has properly closed RI 2394 and recommends that RI 2394 not be reopened without a valid scientific reason. The various phases of these transport studies have been documented in multiple publications, presentations, and videos, and all reports are available for free download on the www.rimap.org website. On the advice of the SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) coordinates are redacted. 0.0000 0.0000 NULL NULL 2024-06-04 00:51:09 snelsonmaney United States of America
