Editing HMS Endeavour (section)

==''Endeavour'' relics and legacy==
In addition to the search for the remains of the ship herself, there was substantial Australian interest in locating relics of the ship's south Pacific voyage. In 1886, the Working Men's Progress Association of [[Cooktown]] sought to recover the six&nbsp;cannon thrown overboard when ''Endeavour'' grounded on the Great Barrier Reef. A £300 reward was offered for anyone who could locate and recover the guns, but searches that year and the next were fruitless and the money went unclaimed.<ref name="Parkin317"/> Remains of equipment left at Endeavour River were discovered in around 1900, and in 1913 the crew of a merchant steamer erroneously claimed to have recovered an ''Endeavour'' cannon from shallow water near the Reef.<ref>{{cite news | title =Interesting Relics | work =The Advertiser | page =4 | publisher =J.

In 1937, a small part of ''Endeavour''{{'s}} keel was given to the [[Commonwealth of Australia|Australian Government]] by philanthropist [[Charles Wakefield, 1st Viscount Wakefield|Charles Wakefield]] in his capacity as president of the [[Arthur Phillip|Admiral Arthur Phillip Memorial]].<ref name="TCT">{{cite news |title=Cook relics for National Library |work=The Canberra Times |page=3 |publisher=Federal Capital Press of Australia Ltd |date=16 May 1937 |url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/2432570?searchTerm=hms+endeavour|access-date=12 September 2008 }}</ref> Australian Prime Minister [[Joseph Lyons]] described the section of keel as "intimately associated with the discovery and foundation of Australia".<ref name="TCT"/>

Searches were resumed for the lost Endeavour Reef cannon, but expeditions in 1966, 1967, and 1968 were unsuccessful.<ref name="Parkin317"/> They were finally recovered in 1969 by a research team from the American [[Academy of Natural Sciences]],{{sfn|ANMM|2008b}} using a sophisticated [[magnetometer]] to locate the cannon, a quantity of iron ballast but not the abandoned bower anchor. Conservation work on the cannon was undertaken by the Australian National Maritime Museum,<ref>{{cite web|title=The Vernon Anchors and HMB Endeavour Cannon |publisher=Australian National Maritime Museum |date=March 2006 |url=http://www.anmm.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/anchors_cannon.pdf |access-date=17 September 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081002015627/http://www.anmm.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/anchors_cannon.pdf |archive-date= 2 October 2008 }}</ref> after which two of the cannon were displayed at its headquarters in Sydney's [[Darling Harbour]], and eventually put on display at Botany Bay and the [[National Museum of Australia]] in Canberra<ref>{{cite web|url=http://collectionsearch.nma.gov.au/?object=62214|title=Cannon from HMB Endeavour, which was jettisoned on the Great Barrier Reef in 1770 and recovered in 1969|access-date=27 September 2014|publisher=National Museum of Australia}}</ref> (with a replica remaining at the museum).

[[Apollo 15]]'s [[Apollo command and service module|command and service module]] CSM-112 was given the [[call sign]] ''Endeavour''; astronaut [[David Scott]] explained the choice of the name on the grounds that its captain, Cook, had commanded the first purely scientific sea voyage, and Apollo 15 was the first lunar landing mission on which there was a heavy emphasis on science.{{sfn|Lindsay|pp=301–302}} Apollo 15 took with it a small piece of wood claimed to be from Cook's ship.<ref name="auto">{{cite news|last=Scurr|first=Ruth|title='Endeavour' by Peter Moore review – the ship that changed the world|date=25 August 2018|access-date=5 January 2019|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/aug/25/endeavour-ship-captain-cook-peter-moore|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190106010649/https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/aug/25/endeavour-ship-captain-cook-peter-moore|archive-date=6 January 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> The ship was again commemorated in the naming of the [[Space Shuttle Endeavour|Space Shuttle ''Endeavour'']] in 1989.<ref>{{cite web|title=Orbiter Vehicles |publisher=Kennedy Space Centre |date=21 September 2000 |url=http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/Endeavour.html |access-date=7 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110521101826/http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/endeavour.html |archive-date=21 May 2011 }}</ref> The shuttle's name in turn inspired the naming of the [[SpaceX]] [[Crew Dragon Endeavour|Crew Dragon ''Endeavour'']], the first such capsule to launch crew.<ref name="GeekWire01">{{cite web |url=https://www.geekwire.com/2020/crew-dragons-astronauts-give-spacex-capsule-storied-name-endeavour/|title=Crew Dragon's astronauts give their SpaceX spaceship a storied name: Endeavour|agency=GeekWire|date=30 May 2020|last=Boyle|first=Alan|access-date=12 June 2020}}</ref>
