Apparently, adding any content to this page adds respectability, and perhaps even gravitas. This user is putting thought into undermining any such misperceptions.

Things to do:


 * BSWF whalers: Wildman, possibly ex Cyane/Cerf. Syren is a mystery.
 * Grand Turk: https://archive.org/stream/essexinstitutehi79esse#page/n75/search/Compleman (scroll back) Also had unsuccessful single-ship attack on Falmouth packet Hinchinbrooke on 1 or 2 May 1814 (p31 in Essex book); 2 men killed. There is a Grand Turk launched in 1794 in New England listed in LR in 1803. 375bm. American ownership.
 * Will Watch - lots in New Zealand Company ships
 * Hope (ship) is clearly about more than one vessel
 * Prince Lee Boo & Jackall
 * Emulation - captured by Syren, abandoned, and seized. Origins are confused. LR and RS disagree.
 * HMS Ceres (1781)
 * Glommen/Britomart
 * Weazle (1799); Laymen went on to command Raven (1804), at the cost of his career.
 * Nautilus (Bombay Marine)
 * Nautilus (Charles Bishop), sealing in Australia, rescued missionaries from Tahiti brought by Duff.
 * HMS Calypso (1783) - needs a lot of work
 * Hind (1790) revenue cutter that became naval
 * Richard Cadman Etches - re Pac North West, spy and model for the Scarlett Pimpernell, liberator of Sir Sidney Smith from the Temple.
