Reports by AFP via The Guardian , the New York Daily News , The Inquisitr , AAP via News Corp Australia and the Daily Mail say that researchers have found a wreck which they believe is the Lord Sandwich.

Travelling aboard the ship, better known by its original name HMS Endeavour , James Cook became the first European to visit Australia and Hawaii. Later it was sold and renamed. It was believed to have been scuttled along with several other ships in Newport Harbour during the American Revolution in connection with the Battle of Rhode Island. Now researchers with the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project say they have somehow determined with "80 to 100 per cent" certainty which of the wrecks is the Lord Sandwich.

Further details are to be released on 4 May.

A 2006 ABC story has earlier information.
