I'd forgotten Endeavour. Endeavour (Earl of Pembroke) and Bounty (Bethia) were both built as North Sea colliers, Earl of Pembroke in Whitby in 1764 and Bethia in Hull in 1784. Externally, they are almost identical, but Bethia was smaller. I persuaded myself I could see two stern lanterns and a lady figurehead, but maybe I was mistaken. DaveP
