HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Florence Ballard, Boyz II Men’s 1992 “End of the Road” single, Billy Brown (The Moments), Bryn Burrows (Fabulous Poodles), the TV debut of The Johnny Carson Show (1955), Cirque de Soliel’s 2006 debut of THE BEATLES - LOVE, Stanley Clarke, the 1989 film GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, Andy Knowles (Franz Ferdinand), Mike Leander, Hal Lindes (Dire Straits), Yngwie Malmsteen, Glenn Shorrock, Superman comics #1 (1938), Dave Van Ronk, Leonard Whiting, Ronald Winans, and the legendary actress, dancer, singer, and Civil Rights activist Lena Horne. She was a trail-blazer whose career spanned 70 years and covered films, musicals, recordings, and television. Her 1980 one-woman show, LENA HORNE: THE LADY AND HER MUSIC ran on Broadway for over 300 performances, and in 1995 she won a Grammy for her jazz album AN EVENING WITH LENA HORNE when she was 78 years old. I wrote this song “Girl With The Lena Horne Smile” as a tribute to her (and to my fiancé Uma Robin Mackey for her own “Lena Horne Smile”). Meanwhile, thank you Lena for being courageous, talented, and for breaking down barriers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT8duaeQIVQ

Captain James Cook’s HMS Endeavour is believed to have sunk in Newport Harbor during the American Revolution.

As an historical link between Australia and the city of Newport, presenter Glenn Shorrock talks about the wreck of the Endeavour in this scene and presents what was then (1983) believed to be surviving wood from the wreck, including a small fragment that traveled to the moon on Apollo 15 (whose Command Module was also called Endeavour.)

However, as there has been some controversy in recent years about which shipwreck in Newport Harbor is actually the Endeavour, it is possible the space-flown fragment Shorrock is holding here (and another fragment flown on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992) may have come from the wrong ship. Maybe.

Shorrock quotes an alternative story of Endeavour’s loss, saying that it instead sunk off Newport in the 1790s is, having been renamed Liberté by a French owner. This account is less-supported by the historical evidence and may instead refer to another HMS Endeavour or to another of Cook’s ships, the Resolution. However, given the coincidence of Australia II’s opponent in 1983 being named Liberty, this probably made a better story for the producers.

Certainly it must have been compelling for mid-20th-century Australian and British America’s Cup challengers to imagine their J-Classes or 12-Metres were sailing over the wreck of the Endeavour, just as it must have been for the astronauts to think they had fragments of the right ship. But until we identify its wreck for sure, perhaps imagining is all we can do…
