Cook's Endeavour
WE know where Nelson’s Victory lies -can walk her decks if we have the price of the fare to-but who can say what happened to Captain Cook’s Endeavour? This is the subject of a talk by Leo Fowler, What Happened to the Endeavour? to be broadcast from
YA and YZ stations at 9.15 p.m. on Thursday, November 15. , Many different fates have been claimed for the ship of Cook’s first | voyage to New Zealand, and relics of supposed , Endeavours have been held in good faith by all sorts of people from Queen Victoria to James Fenimore Cooper. The American author’s relic came from a ship that ended her days at Newport Harbour in Massa-
chusetts: the Queen’s from a_ ship sunk in the largest of New Zealand’s West Coast fiords. Was either of these ships Cook’s Endeavour? Did she, instead, become a floating prison for female convicts? Or did she end in the English coastal coal trade? These are some of the questions which Mr. Fowler examines in his broadcast.
