Oh, really? Wow. They proper sunk. They sunk. Yeah, that's a proper failed mission, isn't it? When your boat is underwater, you're like, OK, we might have to call this one, lads. And we found them in the 90s.

So 1779, Cook dies. George Vancouver says, this is just not going to happen. We've got to stop trying this. No one gets the memo because on go the next explorations.
