Endeavour Reef



Endeavour Reef is a coral reef within the Great Barrier Reef. It is within the Shire of Cook, Queensland, Australia. The reef is about long and runs in an east-west direction. The center of the reef is located at .〔 It is about south-east of the Hope Islands in the Hope Islands National Park and off the mainland.
It was encountered by Lieutenant James Cook when HM Bark ''Endeavour'' ran aground there on 11 June 1770. In his journals, Cook described striking the south-eastern end of the reef at 11pm after having passed just north of Pickersgill Reef〔Pickersgill Reef coordinates per (): 〕 about one hour before.〔(The Project Gutenberg EBook of Captain Cook's Journal During the First Voyage Round the World, by James Cook )〕
Philip Parker King described the region in his ''Voyages for the Survey of the Intertropical coasts of Australia'' Volume 2 following his expeditions between 1818 and 1820.〔(Voyages for the Survey of the Intertropical coasts of Australia ) by Philip Parker King (p. 153) at Google Books〕 King described the reef as being "... nine miles long; it lies in a North-West direction; the north end, in 15 degrees 39 minutes South, bears due from the North-east Hope." and stated that there was a dry rock on the western edge "... in latitude 15 degrees 39 minutes 55 seconds." It is probable that he was referring to Cairns Reef which is further to the north.
In 1969 an underwater search discovered the six abandoned cannons, ballast and an anchor which had been discarded by the ''Endeavour'' crew in 1770 whilst attempting to refloat the ship.〔(The Vernon Anchors and HMB Endeavour Cannon ) at the Australian National Maritime Museum〕 A replica cannon is on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour, Sydney, while the six original cannons are on display at Botany Bay, Cooktown, Canberra, Philadelphia (USA), Wellington (NZ). and London (UK).
