On June 11, 1770, famous explorer James Cook ran aground on a portion of the Great Barrier Reef. His ship, HMB Endeavour, was only saved from sinking thanks to quick action by the crew. They threw 48 to 50 tons of cargo overboard (including six iron cannons), and plugged the hole in the hull using a sail.

Once high tide came, they were able to free the ship from the reef and safely beach it near modern-day Cooktown, Queensland, Australia. It took the crew seven weeks to repair Endeavour's hull, but they were able to successfully continue their journey home after that.

The coral formation Cook ran aground on is now called Endeavour Reef after his ship. The river the crew safely beached the ship on the banks of is also named Endeavour River.

Jacques Cartier became the first European explorer to travel and map the St. Lawrence River on June 9, 1534. Cartier sailed his ship down the river for some time before he eventually realized it would not take him all the way to Asia as he'd hoped. He turned the ship around and soon returned to France.

🎉🎂 Happy birthday, George Szell – one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century! 🎶🎼

Szell was born in Budapest, Hungary, on June 7, 1897, but spent most of his childhood in Vienna, Austria. At just 11 years old, he was already touring Europe as a pianist and composer – some newspapers even called him "the next Mozart." He made his first appearance as a conductor with the Berlin Philharmonic when he was only 17. It was then that Szell realized conducting was his true passion. As they say, the rest is history!

While drive-in movies are often associated with the 1950s and 60s, they actually began several decades earlier. In fact, the world's very first drive-in movie theater opened in Camden, New Jersey on June 6, 1933.

The theater was created by Richard M. Hollingshead Jr., and was known as "Park-In Theaters, Inc." It was situated on Admiral Wilson Boulevard with the earliest prices being 25¢ per car plus 25¢ per person.

It's said Hollingshead got the idea for his drive-in theater after his mother wished the traditional movie theaters were more spacious and the seats more comfortable.

The first movie shown at Park-In Theaters, Inc. was the British comedy "Wives Beware," with approximately 400 cars and 600 people attending the first night the theater was open.

Do you have any fond memories of attending a drive-in movie?

Elvis Presley debuted his version of "Hound Dog" on The Milton Berle Show on June 5, 1956. The song had young women across the nation swooning over him, although some people didn't care for his provocative dance moves.

Less than a month later, The Steve Allen show had Elvis perform the same song to an actual basset hound. The future King of Rock 'n' Roll was clad in a serious tuxedo and was asked to refrain from any movements that would cause controversy.

Have you ever visited Lafayette Square in Buffalo, New York?

Well, it didn't always have that name. It only received its name after the French Marquis de Lafayette visited and spoke there on June 4, 1825.

Lafayette was the last surviving major general of the American Revolutionary War and visited Buffalo as part of his overall tour of the 24 United States that same year. Many other honors and monuments were dedicated across the country during his visit.
