The grounding was a trivial event. The tragedy for the Endeavour replica is that her sailing days may be over, for purely financial reasons. The museum has acquired her by paying off her debts, and has yet to announce long term plans - she may just sit there. These old boats just cost so much to maintain these days that it seems they can't survive as going concerns on their own, without significant additional assistance. > From: George Huxtable > An Australian correspondent tells me- > > "You may be aware ...
