Voyages; 29 January 1846 from Hartlepool for London with a cargo of coal she was run into & damaged in Corton Roads & grounded on Newcombe Sand; 1850-51 Leith for London; 1853 Hartlepool for London.

In November 1866 bound from Bjorneberg for Seaham Harbour with timber, near the entrance to the Baltic, Endeavour was run into by an unknown foreign vessel during a gale. She was split nearly in two, her mainmast carried away & she would have foundered but for the buoyancy of her cargo of timber. All sail was set on the foremast & the master ordered her run ashore on the island of Bornholm from where the crew were rescued using rocket apparatus. The vessel was partly insured in local clubs.
