What happened to captain cooks ship in the Great Barrier Reef?

Captain James Cook's ship, the HMS Endeavour, ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef on June 11, 1770. The ship struck the reef while navigating through the dangerous waters, causing significant damage to its hull. After several days of repairs, the crew managed to free the ship and continue their voyage, but the incident highlighted the challenges of navigating the treacherous reefs.
