Oh, that’s a simple one, (I’m sure!) That is, I’m sure it will be simple to understand, once somebody deciphers it.

Struggling!

I think it may have something to do with type M red dwarf suns, the Hubble telescope and finished forever, but I can't put it all together.

... then again it could be something to do with M and M Hunter boots...

but it's probably 'and now for something completely different'

I'll sleep on it.

I did mention I was determined to set a hard puzzle, but I didn’t think this one would be a stinker 😕

Here’s some more clues:

Psssst! Rebus aficionados. I propose we gang up on @Charlemagne1333 , and quit trying. Maybe then we can beat him down to a point when he will add “meaningful” clues to help solve this impasse!

The clues have left me more confused if that was possible!
What do we call the science of studying plants?
What is the geographic/oceanic feature in the last picture?

Put those two together, and your halfway there to solving the original rebus.

I propose we gang up on @Charlemagne1333

I can take anything… just don’t make me kiss the gunner’s daughter…

Something to do with captain James cook’s “barque”, the bounty on Botany Bay? Busy night tonite. Too busy for any more of this.

So from the last two lot of clues.................

Cook, now assumed to be Captain James Cook based on the latest clues, these being

Bark (not "barque", apparently they are two different types of vessel)
Botany
Bay

So is the answer related to Captain James Cook's ship "HMS Endeavour", AKA "His Majesty's Bark Endeavour" and Botany Bay, where he first set foot on the Australian continent in 1770?

I still can't relate this to the first set of clues.

😕

You put us in the right direction
HMS Endeavour
You got it
End (That's All)
Ever (infinity)
Well done for getting those two

Well done you lot, a collective effort there.
We got there in the end 😁


I didn’t think that one would be a bastard to solve, especially among the more seasoned puzzle solvers, but I suppose it’s easy for me to say 😜


The clues have left me more confused if that was possible!
Don’t let it put you off coming back.
It’s all good fun on here.

The information in Wikipedia indicates the a bark, a barc, or a barque are all in essence, very similar sailing vessels. So let’s leave semantics out of this, please!

It's not semantics, I was simply using information from here.

@JimInOz ,

What I meant to comment on was that the words “barque” and “bark” and “barc” seemingly all describe the same form of ship. Your comment argued that the “barque” spelling was incorrect. I’ll concede that Cook’s vessel may not have been a “bark”. But the choice of the spelling seems to be a language difference.
