User:Acad Ronin/Biscayneer (1783 ship)

Biscayneer was a brig launched in 1776 in Spain, almost certainly under another name. She first appeared as Biscayneer in 1783. She traded between Dartmouth, Devon and Newfoundland. She suffered two major maritime incidents, one in 1786 and a second in 1789. She was last listed in 1800, but apparently had not sailed since early 1796.

Career
Biscayneer first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1783.

Lloyd's Register for 1786 carried the annotation "Lost" by Biscayneer's name. Biscayner, Culley, master, was reported to have been lost at Newfoundland. She had come from Dartmouth and was said to have engaged in fishing.

Early in 1789 Biscayneer came ashore and was severely damaged in the Isles of Scilly. She was on a voyage from Newfoundland to Barnstaple and Dartmouth. The next report, a week later, was that Biscayneer, Hodge, master, was at Scilly, with extensive damage, having come from San Sebastian.

Fate
Biscayneer was last listed in 1800. However, the last mentions of her in Lloyd's List's ship arrival and departure data occurred in January 1796.
