General History:
1979: Converted by Globe Shiprepairers, Hull to acoustic research/survey vessel, and renamed COLONEL TEMPLER. It sank after a serious fire in 1990, and underwent a major rebuild. In 1997 it was again refitted and converted to diesel-electric propulsion.
From November 2000, COLONEL TEMPLER was operated under contract by Serco Denholm, based at HMNB Clyde, Great Harbour, Greenock. In 2001, she was converted to support diving training.
By July 2011, she was sold to a Swedish firm and renamed SEAWAY ENDEAVOUR with a blue and white livery.
According to Sea Breeze Magazine 2015, this ship was then now called ENDEAVOUR and owned by Halstorm Investment Group. It was charting and exploring shipwreck sites around the coasts and world wide, along with another old steam trawler. It was operating out of Greenock.
