The grounding was a trivial event. The tragedy for the Endeavour replica is
that her sailing days may be over, for purely financial reasons. The museum
has acquired her by paying off her debts, and has yet to announce long term
plans - she may just sit there. These old boats just cost so much to
maintain these days that it seems they can't survive as going concerns on
their own, without significant additional assistance.
