Her captain (and owner) sailed her on a whaling voyage but she was wrecked in 1803 off Brazil on the outward leg.
Career
Anna Augusta appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1801 with F. Christal, master, St Barbe, owner, and trade London–Aboukir.[1]Шаблон:Efn In March 1801 the British had fought a battle at Abukir as a prelude to their capture of Alexandria. Whether or not Anna Augusta sailed in support of the operations at Abu Qir is an open question.
Lloyd's Register for 1802 showed Anna AugustaШаблон:'s master changing from Christale to Smith, her owner changing from St Barbe to "Capt. & Co", and her trade from London–Aboukir to London–Southern fishery.[2]
Loss
On 29 January 1803 Smith and his crew arrived at Salvador, Bahia. Anna Augusta had been lost a few days earlier somewhat to the south.Шаблон:Sfnp Smith sent his launches under the command of his mate to see what they could salvage. When they did not return, Smith took four men and a whaleboat on 9 February to go look for them; he found the launches with "considerable salvage". On their return the government seized the salvage to dispose of it.Шаблон:Sfnp
Whales abounded off the coast and some merchants approached Smith to gather information about establishing whale fishing on the British method of boiling the whale oil on board the vessels.Шаблон:Sfnp On 24 March Smith sailed to Lisbon aboard the King's brig, after having overcome many administrative obstacles.Шаблон:Sfnp
Before Smith left, Thomas Lindley purchased Smith's right to the wreck.Шаблон:Efn Lindley then sent his former mate, William Barker, to examine it.Шаблон:Sfnp The report was not clear so Lindley got permission from the governor at Salvador and found someone to sail him south. On 3 April Lindley found the wreck on a reef called Morrera, off the Ilha de Boipeda;Шаблон:Efn The brig was so completely wrecked there was no hope of further salvage beyond a few trifles.Шаблон:Sfnp
Post script
Although Anna Augusta had been lost, Lloyd's List did not get the news, which also apparently did not reach the registers for some time. Lloyd's Register and the Register of Shipping carried stale data until 1807 or so, causing confusion in records.[3]Шаблон:Sfnp
