} |} ''Boyd'' was a brigantine built in 1783 on the Thames, England. She originally traded as a West Indiaman, sailing between London and Saint Kitts. Then between 1795 and 1797 she performed a voyage for the British East India Company (EIC). The French captured her as she was homeward bound, but her owners repurchased her in 1803. In 1804 the French captured her again, but the Royal Navy recaptured her and returned her to her owners. In 1809 she transported convicts to New South Wales for the British government. After delivering the convicts she sailed to New Zealand where Maori warriors attacked her, killing, and eating, almost her entire crew and passengers. They then burnt her. ==Career== ''Boyd'' first appears in the supplemental pages of ''Lloyd's Register'' for 1783. Her master is James Young, her owner, "Capt. & Co.", and her trade London — St Kitts.〔(''Lloyd's Register'' (1783), Supplemental pages seq no. B458. )〕 ''Lloyd's List'' reported on 19 September 1794 that ''Boyd'', Young master, which had sailed from St Kitts had joined the Jamaica convoy after having separated from the Leeward Islands convoy in a violent gale on the Newfoundland Banks.〔(''Lloyd's List'', n° 2648. )〕 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「Boyd (1783 ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
