Two Brothers (ship)
''Two Brothers'' was a Nantucket whaleship that sank on the night of February 11, 1823, off the French Frigate Shoals. The ship's captain was George Pollard, Jr., former captain of the famous whaleship ''Essex''. The wreck was discovered in 2008 (announced on February 11, 2011) by a team of marine archaeologists working on an expedition for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.〔〔〔
==Wreck==
On the night of February 11, 1823—while sailing west through the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands with another whaling ship, ''Martha''—the ''Two Brothers'' found herself in a storm. The two ships became separated and Captain Pollard of the ''Two Brothers'' was unclear as to his ship's position. Soon, the ''Two Brothers'' grounded and sank on a reef near French Frigate Shoals. Captain Pollard did not want to abandon ship but his crew pleaded with him and they clung to small boats through the night. The next morning, they were rescued by the crew of the ''Martha''.〔〔
The wreck was described by Thomas Nickerson who served as boatsteerer on the ''Two Brothers''. Nickerson had also served with Pollard on the ''Essex'' and survived its sinking. Nickerson's account is preserved in a manuscript titled "Loss of the Ship ''Two Brothers'' of Nantucket" (MS 106 F3.5) in the collections of the Nantucket Historical Association.〔
