Moravian Church Mission Ships : ウィキペディア英語版 | Moravian Church Mission Ships
The Moravian Church Mission Ships were a series of twelve ships (five named ''Harmony'') that made an annual voyage from London to the Moravian Church mission stations in Labrador every summer for the 156 years between 1770 and 1926. The purpose of the voyages was to supply provisions to the church's mission stations in Labrador and to rotate mission personnel.〔〔 All but one were pure sailing vessels; the final ship, ''Harmony'' #5, had an auxiliary steam engine.〔 ==Ownership== The ships were owned and operated by the Brethren's Society for the Furtherance of the Gospel among the Heathen, apparently a joint venture between the Moravian Church (then called the Unity of the Brethren) and the Society for the Furtherance of the Gospel among the Heathen.〔
