User:Acad Ronin/Greyhound (1791 ship)

Greyhound was a smack launched at Dover in 1784, possibly under another name. In 1791, as Greyhound, she made a voyage as a whaler to the southern whale fishery. She then became a West Indiaman. She was wrecked in 1796 as she was outward bound on a voyage to Jamaica.

Career
Greyhound first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1792.

Sealing voyage (1791–1793): Captain A.Crow sailed from London on 12 November 1791, bound for Cape Verde. She arrived back at Falmouth on 28 April 1793. She had worked off Patagonia and she returned with five tuns of whale oil and 20,000 seal skins.

On her return the Dudmans decided to leave the whaling business and sold her. A new owner sailed her as a West Indiaman.

In January 1796 Greyhound, Todd, master, arrived at Cork from Honduras, having sustained some damage.

Fate
On 18 May 1796 Greyhound, Todd, master, sailed from Gravesend for Jamaica. Lloyd's List reported on 3 June that Greyhound, Tod, master, was onshore and bilged off Portsmouth. Greyhound was last listed in Lloyd's Register in the volume for 1796.
