 How To Read A Shipwreck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Perhaps during her 11 years of valiant service she exhausted her allocation of luck, because had she passed a few feet to either side of her course--as many other vessels must have done over the centuries--she would have sailed on, oblivious to the previously-uncharted coral pinnacle rising to within a few feet of the surface.
The officers and crew were saved, but the rapidity with which the ship filled with water and the absence of adequate vessels to assist in the salvage conspired to make sure that most of what the ship carried went down with her.
Although we know more now about the history of HMS Endymion and the condition of her remains, there is a great deal left to be done, including solving some of the lingering mysteries about the site.

 BHC0532 : HMS 'Endymion' rescuing a French two-decker, 1803
Sir Charles Paget, while cruising in the Endymion frigate on the coast of Spain, descried a French ship of the line in imminent danger, embayed among rocks upon a lee shore, bowsprit and foremast gone, and riding by a stream cable, her only remaining one.
The whole story is, in fact, mysterious; for while Paget commanded the 'Endymion' around 1803 he did not do so towards the end of the war and nothing of this nature is recorded in his log.
All the pictures appear to show 'Endymion' on the port tack as she prepares to drop her sheet anchor for the French two-decker, before club-hauling and clawing offshore on the starboard tack.
