In 1839 she carried mainly Scots assisted migrants to Australia, and was the first immigrant ship to sail from the Great Britain directly to Port Phillip. In 1842 she transported more than 300 convicts to Hobart. == Career == ''David Clark'' sailed between India and the Mediterranean, arriving in Malta in 1820, where a portrait was made, and then returning via Gibraltar to Bengal, arriving on 27 September 1821. She was involved in the East India Company's military expedition to Burma in 1824 and 1825, and was used in the Arracan campaign as a hospital ship.〔''Lloyd's List'', London, 1820-1854. Nos 5426 & 5575.〕 She continued to trade under the East India Company flag in 1830 and sailed one of the last voyages under licence by the East India Company, through Calcutta, Singapore, China, St. Helena and finally to London between 19 August 1833 to 28 June 1834. Robert Rayne was master on this voyage, the log of which has survived.〔National Archives UK: India Office Records. IOR/L/MAR/B/153A. Log of the Ship David Clark on a Voyage from Calcutta to Singapore, China and London. 19 August, 1833 to 28 June, 1834〕 The vessel was then surveyed in London on 16 August 1834, when it was shown that she was built of teak with two decks, and had been sheathed in wood in 1829 then in copper in 1833 at Calcutta.〔National Maritime Museum UK. Survey 764, London, 16th August 1834.〕 She next sailed the London-Calcutta and Calcutta-China routes between 1834 to 1839 but in January 1839, having left London for India, had to put in at Cowes due to leaking; she discharged her cargo before going to Greenock for a refit.〔Lloyd's List, London, 1820-1854. Nos 7757, 7762 & 7764.〕 She was under the command of Capt. J.B. Mills when she left Greenock on 15 June 1839 carrying mainly Scots assisted immigrants. She arrived at Port Phillip on 27 October 1839.〔(Lance Pymble "The ''David Clark''" )〕 This voyage to Melbourne from Scotland in 1839 with the first bounty immigrants was notable and well-recorded. As she departed on 13 June 1839, John Arthur piped her out to the tune of ''Lochaber No More''. On 15 August 1839 she pulled in to Rio de Janeiro, where she stayed ten days. She then sailed directly to Port Phillip, arriving 27 October 1839. After a stay of about 7 weeks she departed on 19 December 1839 for Bombay.〔''Greenock Advertiser'', 14 June 1839; Syme, Marten A., ''Shipping Arrivals and Departures, Victorian Ports, Volume 1, 1788-1845'', Roebuck Book, 1984-2006. p.39.〕 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「David Clark (1816)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
