Very cool if it is true... :)
Why is the Rhode Island-based research group so resistant to the idea?
Does the article happen to say where in
Rhode Island?
That's pretty funny, considering how it crossed over in the timing of a post about cooks.
Cook is famous for charting lands previously unknown...
Now there's an explorer who really knew how to cook.
So... how about doing something that really cooks... ♫

“... during the American War of Independence.”
The what?
Disgusting slander from this elitist, Tory pig.
Did we install a king? We just went independent so we kept the same type of government? What an insulting jackass this author is.
It was the American Revolutionary war.
It was a full on revolt against the whole system of hereditary monarchy, patronage and titles. It was replaced with a new and revolutionary representative republic founded on civil liberties and the rights and welfare of “the People” being the government’s purpose.

Cook is famous for charting lands previously unknown to the British, including New Zealand

It pays to do a little research...
Cook did his charting in the late 1700s...
NZ was already well known,,,
Abel Tasman chartered the islands in the 1400s...
He joined the North Island and the South Island and made Banks Peninsular (Lyttleton/Akaroa) into an island but the overall shorelines are correct...
Every NZ school child recognized the Tasman map when we were children...
It was in the flyleaf of our school atlas...
