"Captain Cook's Endeavour is finally found 230 years after it disappeared: Legendary vessel used to sail to Australia was scuttled off the coast of Rhode Island in 1778

• In 1770 James Cook discovered Eastern Australia in the HMS Endeavour
• The ship returned to England in 1771 after a three-year joruney and lay forgotten for years
• It was sold in 1775 but then purchased back by the British Royal Navy for use during the Revolutionary War
• In 1778, it was blown up just off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island to create a blockade during the Battle of Rhode Island 
• The Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project believes they have found its scuttled remains
• The group will formally announce their findings on Wednesday "
