Back in 2022, we reported on the Australian National Maritime Museum's (ANMM) announcement that its researchers had confirmed that a shipwreck proposed as a likely candidate in 2018 is indeed the remains of the HMS Endeavour. However, the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP)—the museum's research partner in the project—promptly released a statement calling the announcement premature. RIMAP insisted that more evidence was needed.
早在2022年，我们就在澳大利亚国家海事博物馆（ANMM）宣布的报道中报道说，其研究人员已经确认，在2018年提议作为候选人的沉船确实是HMS努力的遗体。但是，该项目的研究合作伙伴罗德岛海洋考古项目（RIMAP）提出了一份声明，称该声明为公告早。RIMAP坚持要求更多证据。
The final report is now available, and both RIMAP and ANMM say they have confirmed that the wreck is indeed the Endeavour. (You can read the full report here.) “The timbers are British timbers. The size of all the timber scantlings are almost identical to Endeavour, and I’m talking within millimeters—not inches, but millimeters," Kieran Hosty, an ANMM archaeologist who co-wrote the report, told The Independent. “The stem scarf is identical, absolutely identical. This stem scarf is also a very unique feature—we’ve gone through a whole bunch of 18th-century ships' plans, and we can’t find anything else like it.”
最终报告现已可用，Rimap和Anmm表示他们已经确认沉船确实是努力。（您可以在这里阅读完整的报告。）“木材是英国木材。所有木材稀少的大小几乎与努力相同，而我在毫米内谈论的不是几英寸，而是毫米，” ANMM考古学家Kieran Hosty告诉了该报告，该报告告诉该报告。“茎围巾是相同的，绝对相同的。这款茎围巾也是一个非常独特的功能 - 我们经历了一大堆18世纪的船只计划，我们找不到其他类似的东西。”
As previously reported, Endeavour Captain James Cook's first voyage (1768–1771) was, in part, a mission to observe and record the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. The observation was part of a combined global effort to determine the distance of the Earth from the Sun. Those observations proved less conclusive than had been hoped, but during the rest of the voyage, Cook was able to map the coastland of New Zealand before sailing west to the southeastern coast of Australia—the first record of Europeans on the continent's Eastern coastline.
正如先前报道的那样，努力队长詹姆斯·库克（James Cook）的第一次航行（1768-1771）部分是一项任务，是观察和记录1769年的金星在太阳上的1769年过境。该观察结果是确定地球与太阳的距离的全球努力的一部分。事实证明，这些观察结果比希望的要少，但是在航行的其余部分中，库克在向西航行到澳大利亚东南海岸之前能够绘制新西兰的沿海地区，这是欧洲大陆东部海岸线上的第一个记录。
The Endeavour (by then renamed the Lord Sandwich) met its demise in the Atlantic when it was one of 13 ships the British deliberately sank (or"scuttled") in a Rhode Island harbor during the American Revolution. Archaeologists and divers in 1993 consulted 18th-century maps and logs for information about the locations of the wrecks of the Endeavour and the other ships scuttled with it. Then the researchers took to the water with side-scan sonar to find the remains.
这项努力（当时更名为三明治勋爵）在美国大革命期间，英国人故意沉没（或“破碎”）时，它是在大西洋的灭亡。考古学家和潜水员在1993年咨询了18世纪的地图和日志，以获取有关努力残骸和其他船只的位置的信息。然后，研究人员带着侧扫声纳进入水中，找到了遗体。
