Between 1768 and 1771, the Endeavour became the first European vessel to reach Eastern Australia and circumnavigate New Zealand's main islands. Yet while James Cook was established as one of history's most famous explorers, his ship faded into obscurity, becoming a troop transport. She was then sold in 1775, renamed the Lord Sandwich, and finally scuttled off the US coast in 1778, during the American War of Independence.
