Profiles

Tranmere was launched in 1819 at Tranmere. She first traded between England and South America. In 1827 she played a role in the settlement of Tasmania and thereafter sailed in the region and between England and Tasmania. She was last listed in 1837... Tranmere left London on 23 June 1829 and arrived in Sydney on 19 December. In 1830 Tranmere was in the Pacific Ocean, where she visited Tongataboo. There she took on the crew of the whaler L'Aigle, which had wrecked on 6 March, and carried them to Sydney. Either prior or after this, Tranmere sailed to New Zealand. She was at Kapiti Island, from where she sailed to Cook Strait. Tranmere, Smith, master, arrived at Cook Strait on 24 June with 17 tons of flax.[7] Tranmere sailed back to England in January 1831.
