In 2019, remains of a possible wooden vessel were reported on the shore at Pensarn Beach, Abergele. A preliminary survey by CPAT revealed parts of the stern and hull still surviving, with a bowsprit also visible. The wreck has been tentatively identified as the Endeavour, a sloop lost in 1854. Further survey and timber analysis are recommended to confirm its identity and significance.
