Essex Junior : ウィキペディア英語版 | Essex Junior
The sloop ''Essex Junior'', formerly the British whaler ''Atlantic'', Captain Obadiah (or Obed) Wier (or Wyer, of Nantucket), was captured by the frigate ''Essex'', Captain David Porter, off the Galapagos Islands on 29 April 1813. Porter took ''Atlantic'' to use as a tender, named her ''Essex Junior'', and placed her under the command of Commander John Downes. The British recaptured her on 28 March 1814 when they captured ''Essex''. They then sent ''Essex Junior'' to New York as a cartel. ==''Atlantic''== From 1804 to August 1806 Obadiah Web had sailed the whaler ''Fame'' to the Pacific, returning to Nantucket with 1000 barrels of sperm oil. On this voyage, ''Atlantic'' had left Nantucket earlier in 1813.〔(American Offshore Whaling Voyages, National Maritime Digital Library )〕 ''Atlantic'' was already pierced for 20 guns though only mounting six, so Porter augmented her existing armament with 6-pounder guns and additional 18-pounder carronades. He also put on board a crew of 60 officers and men.〔
