Captain Cook's vessel - Inspector Morse's name (9)

I believe the answer is:

endeavour

(Other definitions for endeavour that I've seen before include "Enterprise; earnest effort" , "Determined effort" , "Try to achieve something" , "Attempt by employing effort" , "Undertaking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
