The Endeavour Set For Another Successful Year

January 15, 2014

The management team of The Endeavour look forward to another successful year after the £100,000 restoration of the Leigh cockle boat . The boat was part of the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk in 1940. The boat took part in the Mayor's Thames Festival at St Katherine's Docks during two weekends of September 2013 where the boat was visited by superstar, Rod Stewart who was at the festival. BBC Springwatch presenter Martin Hugh-Games visited the Endeavour stand at the opening of the new Belfairs Woodland Centre, who took great interest in the boat and its history. Other visitors included members of the Metropolitan Police Force who spent a day on the boat.
