''Guildford'' was a two-decker merchant ship launched in 1810. She transported convicts to New South Wales. Of her eight voyages delivering convicts, for three she was under charter to the British East India Company (EIC). She underwent major repairs in 1819, her hull was sheathed in copper in 1822; in 1825 she received new wales, top sides and deck, the copper was repaired and other repairs. ''Guildford'' was lost without a trace in 1831. ==Voyages== Magnus Johnson was ''Guildford''s captain on her first seven voyages. On 4 July 1811 he received a letter of marque, which authorised ''Guildford'', while under his command, to engage in offensive, and not just defensive, action against the French.〔(Letter of Marque, 1793-1815; p.66 )〕 ''Lloyd's Register'' for 1810 lists her trade as London-Jamaica. On her first convict voyage, ''Guildford'' left London on 3 September 1811 with 200 male convicts. She reached Rio de Janeiro on 27 October,〔 and arrived at Port Jackson on 18 January 1812. One convict died during the voyage. ''Guildford'' departed Port Jackson bound for Bengal in March 1812. By 6 June ''Guildford'' had arrived at Calcutta. Homeward bound and under charter to the EIC, on 24 August she passed Saugor. She reached the Cape on 9 December and St Helena on 1 January 1813, and arrived at the Downs on 14 May.〔 On her second convict voyage, ''Guildford'' left Ireland in 1815 with 228 male convicts. She arrived at Port Jackson on 8 April 1816. On her third convict voyage, ''Guildford'' left Cork on 14 November 1817, with 204 male convicts. She travelled via Rio de Janeiro and arrived at Port Jackson on 1 April 1818. Six convicts died during the voyage. On her fourth convict voyage, ''Guildford'' left Portsmouth on 14 May 1820, with 190 male convicts (Surgeon Superintendent, Dr. Hugh Walker). She travelled via Simon's Town (Cape Town's winter naval base at the time), where she picked up four additional convicts (making a total of 194 convicts transported), and arrived at Port Jackson on 30 September. Only six convicts were taken off in Sydney; she landed the other 188 in Van Diemen's Land after she arrived at Hobart on 28 October 1820. No convicts died on ''Guildford''s fourth journey. On her fifth convict voyage, ''Guildford'' left London on 7 April 1822, with 190 male convicts. She arrived at Port Jackson on 15 July. One convict died during the voyage. On her sixth convict voyage, ''Guildford'' left Portsmouth on 18 August 1823, with 160 male convicts. She arrived at Port Jackson on 5 March 1824. One convict died during the voyage. Next, ''Guildford'' made a voyage to Madras and Bengal for the EIC. Magnus Johnson was still her captain and he left Torbay on 26 May 1825. ''Guildford'' reached Madras on 5 September and then went on to Calcutta. On her return voyage she reached Madras on 11 January 1826 and St Helena on 23 March, and arrived at the Downs on 30 May.〔 On her seventh convict voyage, ''Guildford'' left Plymouth on 31 March 1827, with 190 male convicts. She arrived at Port Jackson on 25 July. One convict died during the voyage. ''Guildford'' then sailed to China, arriving at Whampoa on 13 November 1827. For her homeward voyage for the EIC she crossed the Second Bar, about 20 miles downriver from Whampoa, on 5 December, reached St Helena on 18 February 1828, and arrived at the Downs on 12 April.〔 Although the 1829 ''Lloyd's Register'' still shows Mangles as ''Guildford''s owner, the 1830 edition shows her new owner as T. Ward, and her master as "Harrison". Under the command of Robert Harrison, ''Guildford'' left Dublin, Ireland on 12 July 1829, on her eighth convict voyage, with 200 male convicts. She arrived at Port Jackson on 4 November. Four convicts died during the voyage. ''Guildford'' left Port Jackson on 19 January 1830, bound for Bengal. 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「Guildford (1810 ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
