NZ archaeologist urges govt to join Endeavour recovery

From Morning Report, 8:21 am on 25 September 2018

A New Zealand archaeologist at the University of Rhode Island is urging the government to become involved in the recovery of Captain Cook's Endeavour. But so far Bridget Buxton's efforts have been rebuffed. The search for the Endeavour, which was sunk off Rhode Island in 1778, has been narrowed to just one site. When that announcement was made on the weekend, Australia sent its Consul General and the chairman of the Australian National Maritime Museum. Kim Hill talks to Bridget Buxton.
