The Leigh-on-Sea Endeavour Trust is a charitable organisation set up in 2001 in order to restore and maintain a historic fishing boat from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England in its former glory.
Endeavour was a working fishing boat for most of her life, and was one of the six Leigh boats to go do Dunkirk to participate in the evacuation of British troops from the beaches.

Where Is Endeavour?
As of Summer 2026, the Trust is trying to secure a new mooring for Endeavour. Her previous mooring was reclaimed by its owner, who has our gratitude for allowing us to use it for so many years.
When she is out and about, you can use AIS to track Endeavour's whereabouts. AIS, or Automatic Identification System, is a maritime navigation safety communication system that allows vessels to broadcast their position, speed, and other data to other vessels and shore stations using VHF to exchange data, helping to prevent collisions, track ships, and improve maritime traffic management.
You can use a website such as https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/232037974 (other trackers are available) or download an app for your phone to keep track of her.
Endeavour's call sign is MJXW6, and her MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) is 232037974, which you will need to distinguish our Endeavour from all the others (though the link above will take you direct to her)!
