The Australian National Maritime Museum made the announcement after a 22-year search.

Known as the HMS Endeavour, it was discovered in Newport Harbour, off Rhode Island in the United States.

The Endeavour was scuttled in the harbour during the American War of Independence in 1788.

In 1770, it became the first European vessel to reach the east coast of Australia.

ANMN Director Kevin Sumption says the discovery is incredibly significant and he is convinced it is Captain Cook’s ship.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
