Lot Essay

The Endymion was built at Whitby in 1815 and originally owned by Chapmans. Registered at 342 tons, she was owned by T. Garbut of Whitby by 1838 and was trading as far afield as Quebec in addition to the Baltic. Subsequently re-rigged as a barque working out of Hull, she then ran on the North Atlantic for about twenty years until she was lost by fire whilst lying in the Mersey on 31st January 1860.
