#1 I think it'll be great iff the ENDEAVOR/LORD SANDWICH, or any one of these ships, could be refurbished and moored next to the Yorktown battlefield. However, considering the importance of Capt. Cook, I expect Britain's Royals and science buffs will lobby hard for the ENDEAVOR.

#2 The Endeavour was Cook's ship when he discovered Hawaii and explored the south central coast of Alaska (Cook Inlet, Resurrection Bay, Prince William Sound, etc.).

I doubt that the ship could be raised, but if it could it and any artifacts mean as much to the U.S. as they do to the British.

I was born in Anchorage and would love to to see Captain Cook's ship.
