Yes I agree Robin, this is old news, maybe now they have some funding to do some recovery of the wrecks. Hope so, they might find the remains of those elusive bumpkins

Robin, This is this your painting they use in the story, and they have called it an undated sketch. Hope you are getting royalties for it!

I believe that the wreck of HMS Kingfisher is lying in those very same waters.

It was during the revolutioary war she was scuttled at Newport Bay to prevent the French from sailing into the harbor to help retake the city. At the time she was a troop transport named lord sandwitch 2 and was in pretty poor shape. The owner of the vessles scuttled were compensated by the british admiralty.

Have the users no shame? I hope that you get an apology at very least, Robin. That's a fine image, even in monochrome, by the way.

Well, the news regarding Endeavour surfaced on CNN as well today.

This is what Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project has on their website.

I will believe it once we have true confirmation about it.

You are welcome Robin. I also thought it was an insult to call your wonderful painting a sketch.

That picture was used in almost every media story here in Australia

Cheers
