LEIGH ON SEA ENDEAVOUR TRUST
The ENDEAVOUR was built locally in 1926 as a Cockle boat and then spent most of her working life in Leigh-on-Sea. In 1940 she was one of the Little Ships that rescued troops from the beaches of Dunkirk. In 2001 the Trust was established to restore her, and, using Oak from nearby Belfairs Woods, she was relaunched in 2005, for community and educational use. She is moored in Leigh Creek.
