She ''Lloyd's register'' for 1802 gives the name of her master as G. Pilmore. However, Richard Brooks received a letter of marque already on 17 August 1801.〔 (As late as 1808, ''Lloyd's Register'' still showed Pilmore as master of ''Atlas'' and her trade as Botany Bay. Clearly, her owners had not bothered to provide updated information.) Under Brooks's command, between 1801 and 1803 ''Atlas'' sailed for the East India Company on a voyage that first had her carrying convicts from Ireland to Port Jackson, and then going on to China, before returning to England. ''Atlas'' left Deptford on 16 July 1801, and Blackwall on 20 August. She reached Waterford on 19 September and Cork four days later.〔National Archives: ''Atlas'' (2),() - accessed 9 November 2014.〕 She sailed from Ireland on 29 November 1801, with 151 male and 28 female convicts. She arrived at Rio de Janeiro on 2 February 1802.〔 ''Atlas'' arrived at Port Jackson on 7 July 1802.〔 Sixty-six male and two female convicts died on the voyage, or just after disembarkation. Governor Philip Gidley King censured Brooks for this high death rate, which was the result of his negligence and the overcrowding that his transport of his personal cargo caused. Thomas Jamison, ''Atlas''s surgeon, charged Brooks with assault in a civil action, and the transport commissioners threatened to prosecute him, but Brooks escaped punishment.〔Parsons (1966).〕 ''Atlas'' left Port Jackson on 7 October 1802 bound for China. She reached Whampoa on 14 December. By 18 April 1803 she was at St Helena, and on 18 June she was finally back at Deptford.〔 She sailed from Gravesend, England on 10 June 1819, under the command of Joseph Short, with 156 male convicts. She arrived at Port Jackson on 19 October. One male convict died on the voyage. ''Atlas'' left Port Jackson on 10 January 1820 bound for Calcutta. == Fate == ''Atlas'' grounded on a shoal outside Poulicat, India on 9 May 1820 and was wrecked after splitting in two on the sands. 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「Atlas (June 1801)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
