Legendary Explorer’s Long-Lost Ship May Have Been Found Off Rhode Island

One of the most famous lost ships in history may have just been found.

James Cook’s Endeavour — a ship that vanished off the map so completely that there are accounts of its possible final location across the globe — may be in the waters off Newport, Rhode Island. 

The Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP) will announce on Wednesday that it is between 80 percent and 100 percent certain it knows the location of the legendary explorer’s lost ship, according to information on its website.
