The 235-ft Motor Vessel Endeavour ran aground Jan. 6 on the St. John's River in Mayport near the entrance of the Intracoastal Waterway. The Captain of the Port has established a 50-yard safety zone around the vessel; all traffic should remain outside this zone for their own safety and for those crews conducting removal operations.
