Following Cook's first voyage of exploration, the Endeavour was used for ferrying Navy supplies to the Falkland Islands. After being sold to a private enterprise in 1775, the Endeavour was purposely scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay at Rhode Island in 1778, during the American Revolution. The precise whereabouts of the wreckage of the Endeavour are unknown, but several items were salvaged from the ship, and are on display in various maritime museums around the world. A replica of the Endeavour is displayed in the Australian National Maritime Museum at Sydney Harbour, Australia.

HERE THIS IS IT READ IT NOW! ''Ahoy, Matey's!'' Good morning!'' Said a fierce pirate named Anne Cathlic. Another fierce pirate named Mary Readle said good morning and told her that she heard that their trip to a type of Treasure Island to find some treasure was unlucky because there was a curse on the treasure. Anne said they were already halfway there. ''Well, I guess we can look around.'' Said Mary. As they were talking, they heard a yell of their captain ''JAMES? WHERE IS MY THREE PAIRS OF UNDERWEAR?'' There was a loud sigh from above Anne. Anne looked up at her magic hat called Bonny and saw it talk! It said that it knew where they where. It also said that James Bonny stuck them in a wine bottle. They told the captain where they were and the captain found them. After he found them it was the next day. The captain told them good morning, but, they were looking another ship instead. Captain looked at the flag and it was an enemy ship. James quickly joined the crew so he didn't get shot or captured. Then, captain of the other ship said, ''We want to get to Treasure Island and instead of you looking around, you will fight us. James wanted to do it and asked me too.'' So that was planned. The girls were arguing when the three pairs of underwear talked! They said we are magic! We will give you 1 wish. Anne asked for James to be her husband. The three pairs of underwear granted her wish and disappeared. James became Anne's husband. Mary Readle showed her her captain and the captain said since you are married I will make the bad people good. After that, they lived in a ghost ship and lived happily ever after.
