I'm sure the rename had good reason but I can't imagine going from a name like "HMS Endeavour", what a great name, to "Lord Sandwich" ... in modern times that sounds like some lighthearted forum username.
Has anyone found a clear indication of the wreck's location?
There's been a lot of interesting ship activity in Narraganset Bay lately, at least as seen when crossing the Jamestown / Newport bridges. I'm curious if any of it's related to that wreck.
A bit odd to have an Al Jazeera video on https://www.independent.co.uk/
> Lord Sandwich was one of thirteen vessels scuttled (deliberately sunk) to act as a submerged blockade
That's a pretty sucky end for a vessel that made so much history.
how tf u can make website so awful to the mobile user?
My parent brain read this as Captain Hook instead of Captain Cook and I've gotta say, I'm a little disappointed
You are not supposed to cook a sandwich
Didn't they announce this 3 years ago?
