I was confused about this quest of an Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rock in the state of Maine.

As a University of Phoenix Criminal Justice graduate student, in my CJA 510, Professor Joseph Gutheinz., Jr assigned his students to investigate the location of Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rocks.; Each graduate student was assigned a journey to hunt the whereabouts of an Apollo 11 or Apollo 17 Moon rock in a state which was presented by NASA.

The Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rock was presented to Governor Curtis by U.S Astronauts Conrad and Weitz on October 25, 1973. I emailed the governor office and Maine State Museum. Laurie LaBar, the Chief Curator of History and Decorative Arts of Maine State Museum, emailed me and confirmed the whereabouts of the Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rock. She stated the rock was indeed in the Maine State Museum. The rock was presented on a plaque with the Maine State flag flown to and from moon by Apollo 17 astronauts. The Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon rock presented to Maine State Museum is located in their curiosity exhibit.

Discovering the whereabouts of the Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rock was exciting, especially on the 40th anniversary of Apollo. I am proud to state; I have found the state of Maine’s Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rock.

Famous Pearl Discovery in History

The Admiralty chose a brilliant young navigator named James Cook to lead the expedition. Cook had successfully charted the St. Lawrence river in Quebec, his charts later helping General Wolfe’s army capture Quebec from the French in 1759.

Cook quickly rose through the ranks obtaining the rank of Master which was the highest non-commissioned rank achievable. Cook chose a Whitby built collier named the Endeavour, the type of ship that he knew so well.

Cook then sailed onto the south-eastern coast of Australia anchoring in Botany Bay, naming it after the rich specimens which the botanists of the expedition had gathered there. Cook was promoted from Master to Commander and was once again commissioned by the Royal Society to search for the mythical Terra Australis. Cook almost encountered the mainland of Antarctica but turned northwards back towards Tahiti. The expedition made landfalls at South Africa, Tasmania, New Zealand, Tahiti, Canada, Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands.
