Rhode Island researchers working to uncover original Endeavour
As a replica Endeavour enters Tūranganui a Kiwa this morning, researchers in Rhode Island, are still working to uncover the real ship. The Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project has been working to verify that a shipwreck at the bottom of Newport Harbour is in fact then-lieutenant Captain Cook's Endeavour - but it could still be years before they get confirmation. Gyles speaks to the head of the project, Kathy Abbass.
