Phoenix (of London) : ウィキペディア英語版
Phoenix (1809 ship)

''Phoenix'' was a vessel launched in France in 1809. After the British captured her she was sold and her new owners employed her as whaler. She visited the Galapagos islands in July 1823.〔Dalton (1990).〕 In 1824, while under the command of John Palmer, she discovered Phoenix Island, later known as Rawaki Island, as well as Kanton Island.
==Privateer==
''Phénix'' was built in Bordeaux in 1809. In 1810 she was under the command of Jacques François Perroud, a notable French captain with a long history of privateering. Under Perroud's command, ''Phénix'' made a number of captures.
On 25 January 1810 the privateer ''Phoenix'', of 20 guns and 110 men, belonging to Bordeaux, captured the ''Donna Maria'', Lunes, master, which had been sailing from Boston to Lisbon. However, on 9 February recaptured ''Donna Maria'' on 9 February; she arrived at Plymouth on 24 February.〔(''Lloyd's List'', n° 4436 - accessed 18 November 2015. )〕
On 13 March, the English ship ''Chatham'', which had sailed from Georgia with a cargo of rice and cotton, arrived at Paimbœuf. ''Chatham'' was a prize to the ''Phoenix'', of Bordeaux.〔(''Lloyd's List'', n° 4445 - accessed 18 November 2015. )〕
On 12 September 1810, the frigate HMS ''Aigle'' captured her. ''Aigle'' was at at 11a.m. on 12 September when she sighted a strange sail coming towards her. The unknown vessel approached but as she got within about 9 miles of ''Aigle'' turned and sailed away from her. ''Aigle'' gave chase and after 13 hours and 130 miles succeeded in capturing her quarry. Captain Wolfe, of ''Aigle'', was fulsome in his praise of ''Phoenix'', her master, and crew. He described ''Phoenix'' as "nearly new, strong built, and Copper fastened." She had outsailed four pursuers in the 50 days she had been out and ''Aigle'' only caught her due to a fortuitous gale of wind; on the way into Plymouth, the captured ''Phoenix'' always led ''Aigle''. Perroud had exhibited superior seamanship until the wind enabled ''Aigle'' to come up. Lastly, ''Phoenix''s crew was "the best Crew I ever saw, composed of strong, healthy, active, stout young Seamen."〔
''Phoenix'', of "18 Guns and 120 Men", arrived at Plymouth at the end of September.〔(''Lloyd's List'', n° 4497 - accessed 18 November 2015. )〕 At about the same time the ''Agenoria'' too arrived in Plymouth.〔 ''Phoenix'' had on 24 August captured the American bark ''Agenoria'', which had been sailing from New Orleans to Liverpool with a cargo of cotton,〔 but had recaptured her.〔 ''Phoenix'' had also captured, on 14 August, the English brig ''Unity'', which had been carrying a cargo of fish from Newfoundland to Lisbon.〔
