The name of the elementary school down the street that your Mom named, without even realizing this historic connection.
Actually it was the HMS Endeavour.
We can understand your spelling things like colour as "color", but in this instance leaving out the "u" is a no-no. It would be equivalent to our spelling the USA state of Maine as "Main" or "Mane".
Interestingly enough, he wasn't Captain when he hit Australia but Lieutenant - but everyone forgets that - he was made Captain later.
