What accident happened to Captain James Cook's boat?

Answer 1

As Captain Cook sailed north along the Queensland coast, his ship the "Endeavour" struck the Great Barrier Reef and nearly sank. The Endeavour managed to stay afloat for another week whilst the crew sought desperately for land, eventually sighting the harbour formed by the Endeavour River. The ship was landed on 10 June 1770, and Cook spent almost two months repairing it, thus giving rise to the fledgling township of Cooktown.

Answer 2

On James Cook's first voyage, the Endeavour hit the Great Barrier Reef, and they arrived at what is now called the Endeavour River, which is where the present-day town of Cooktown is located. (This was two months after departing botany Bay in the south.) There was a six week delay due to repairing the ship.
