''Anne'', also known as ''Ann'', was an 18th Century Spanish sailing ship that the British had captured in 1799. The British Navy Board engaged her to transport convicts from Cork in Ireland to the penal colony of New South Wales in Australia for one voyage from 1800 to 1801. During this voyage she was possibly present, although she did not participate, in a notable action against a squadron of three French frigates. She then made one voyage for the British East India Company (EIC). ==Origins== ''Anne'' was Spanish-built in the 1790s., She was originally named ''Nostra Senora da Luzet Santa Anna'', or ''Luz St Anne'' or ''Luz St Anna''.〔Bateson 1959, pp. 158 - 160〕〔Bateson 1959, p. 288〕 In 1799 she was captured at sea by the 44-gun during the French Revolutionary Wars and taken to England for sale into private hands.〔 The ''London Gazette'' reported that the armed transports ''Dover'' and ''Cecilia'' captured ''Nostra Senora da Luzet Santa Anna'' in 1799. == Voyage to Australia == On 9 April 1799, the Navy Board engaged the renamed ''Anne'' and licensed her in London for a single voyage transporting convicts. Her master was James Stewart.〔 For security she was provided with 12 ship's guns and manned by a crew of 42, including additional seamen to act as guards. The British War Office declined a request for a detachment of Marines, citing the burden created by the ongoing war with France.〔 Under the command of James Stewart, on 26 June 1800 ''Anne'' sailed from Cork carrying 147 male and 24 female convicts.〔Bateson 1959, p. 326〕 A little over a month later, on 29 July, Stewart and ''Anne''s crew suppressed a mutiny. After consulting with his officers, Stewart had the ringleader of the uprising shot, and another man subjected to 250 lashes. In the affray one convict was killed and some others were wounded. Later, a Vice-Admiralty Court would try Stewart and the Chief Mate, and honourably acquit them.〔Free Settler or Felon?

A squadron of three French frigates had attacked the convoy of East Indiamen that ''Anne'' was accompanying, only to suffer an embarrasing defeat. ''Anne'' arrived at Rio de Janeiro on 22 August.〔 ''Lloyd's List'' reported in January 1801 that the Botany Bay ship ''Ann'' had been at Rio de Janeiro, having sailed in company with several ships of the East India Company.〔''Lloyd's List'', 16 January 1801() - accessed 11 November 2013.〕 From Rio ''Anne'' sailed to the Cape of Good Hope. At Cape Town she embarked eight more sailors and soldiers.〔 ''Anne'' arrived at Port Jackson on 21 February 1801 with 127 male and 24 female convicts.〔 In all, 20 male convicts had died on 240-day voyage. ''Anne'' left Port Jackson on 9 July supposedly bound for China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anne (1799 ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
