She performed two voyages as an "extra" ship for the British East India Company (EIC) and later, in 1803, she accompanied HMS ''Calcutta'' to Port Phillip (Melbourne). The vessels supported the establishment of a settlement under the leadership of Lt Col David Collins. ''Calcutta'' transported convicts, with ''Ocean'' serving to transport supplies. When the settlers abandoned Port Phillip, ''Ocean'', in two journeys, relocated the settlers, convicts and marines to the River Derwent (Hobart Town) in 1804.〔 ''Ocean''s ultimate fate is unknown. ==Description== ''Ocean'' was a three-masted, copper-bottomed brig. She was built in 1794 at South Shields.〔Register of Shipping (1813)〕 Originally, ''Ocean'' was to be a whaler owned by the newly-operating South Sea fishers, Thomas and Edward Hurrys, who were bankrupt by 1806. However, apparently ''Ocean'' spent 1794-95 in the Baltic timber trade.〔 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「Ocean (1794)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
