Margaret (1799 brig)
''Margaret'' was a British-built Australian brig that was launched in 1799 and wrecked in 1803.
''Margaret'' was constructed in London in 1799 and registered to a company called ''Turnbull & Co''. John Buyers, as her master, received a letter of marque on 28 May 1800.〔 Buyers and John Turnbull, who had known each other from a 1799 voyage to China on the ''Barwell'', entered a venture with some London merchants to explore trade options. ''Margaret'' left London on 2 July 1801 and arrived in Sydney in February 1802.〔 Buyers and ''Margaret'' left Sydney on 5 June 1802, bound for the Society Islands on a seal hunting expedition. Along the voyage the ship was the first European to discover both Makemo, Taenga, and rediscover Nukutepipi in March 1803. On 17 April 1803 the ''Margaret'' was grounded on a reef. The crew cut away her mast but by midnight they had to abandon ship. The crew reached shore in a small boat, which natives promptly stole; also, natives speared two of the crew. The crew constructed two small boats from the wreck and sailed off the island, eventually making it back to Sydney by 30 September 1803.
