General History:
01/12/1827:
Montrose, Nov. 21.—Yesterday, the ENDEAVOUR, Mearns, from Newcastle, coming into the river, was taken aback a sudden gust the N.W., which put her ashore; by great exertions they got her out to sea, but the water flowed so fast into her that they were obliged to run her ashore to the South of this. A great part the materials saved, but the vessel expected to a total wreck.
(Durham Chronicle)
