before getting refitted and renamed the Lord Sandwich in 1775, To 2025 ears, a rather ignominious name. Sounds like a Jimmie John's promotion.

I like the name Endeavor much better than Lord Sandwich.
Maybe Lord Sammich would be better?

“Didn’t Cap’n Cook get et by cannibals,”
He was murdered in Hawaii. Then buried at sea there.

That sucks. Sail the world, work your ass off, blaze trails, eating crappy food and drinking dank water only to be killed by savages just before retirement.

One of the incompetents that directed the war effort against the Americans and French fleet during the Revolution, we were pretty lucky in our enemies.

A couple times I have have visited where he died at Kealakekua Bay on Kona. There’s an interesting memorial for Capt. Cook there.

It would have been hilarious if the cook on the expedition had the last name "Captain".

The ship was named in honor of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who was First Lord of the Admiralty. Same man for whom Cook named the Sandwich Islands.
The food item that we call a sandwich is said to have been popularized by him.
