Warren (1829 ship)

Fate
Captain Nathan B. Heath sailed from Warren on 19 November 1851, bound for the North Pacific.

Warren was in the Gulf of Anadyr when she caught fire, burned to the water line, and exploded. This occurred either on 4 July 1852, or 10 July. Captain Heath and his crew ended up on the whaler California.
