If it weren't for the accompanying photograph I would have speculated that the underlying painting was of a polar bear in a snowstorm done entirely in white gesso.

"One of Captain James Cook's official artists painted the first image of Antarctica, new x-ray analysis shows.

But the painting had remained hidden for more than two centuries, as the artist had painted the landscape of a New Zealand bay over it. "

How did they know to look with X-Rays? Did I miss the answer somewhere? Or did they just assume there might be something because artists at sea reused canvases?

Australian shipwreck could pre-date Captain Cook
Monday 7th October 2002

Team leader Greg Jeffreys says a row of four cannons suggests the ship was a European military exploration vessel from the 17th century. "The cannon definitely are not English cannon. We know the style of most of the English cannon, so we are looking at a European ship - probably 1650s around that era," he said... Jeffreys says as the ship is excavated other finds such as dinner plates, glasses, weapons or money could provide more accurate evidence of its origin. Captain Cook is credited with being the first European explorer to find and chart Australia's east coast in 1770.
