International maritime experts say Australia's claims to have discovered the site of Captain Cook's ship are premature. The Australian National Maritime Museum says the wreck of HMS Endeavour was discovered in Newport Harbour off Rhode Island in the United States. But the lead body in charge of the research site says the museum's announcement is a breach of contract. The Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project released a statement saying there was no “indisputable data” the wreck was the Endeavour and said the research would not be driven by science, not “Australian emotion”. "Meanwhile, RIMAP recognizes the connection between Australian citizens of British descent and the Endeavour, but RIMAP's conclusions will be driven by proper scientific process and not Australian emotions or politics,” it said.
