History
Cato first appears in Lloyd's Register in 1802 with C. Pearson, master, changing to I. Park, and trade London—Suriname.[1] The Register of Shipping has a little more information; it also reports CatoШаблон:'s armament, and shows her trade changing to London—Botany Bay.[2]
Cato, Park, master, arrived in Port Jackson, New South Wales, from England on 9 March 1803, carrying stores.[3]
On 10 August 1803, Cato left Sydney in the company of Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:Ship, all bound for Canton.[3] On 17 August the three ships got caught near a sandbank, 157 miles north and 51 miles east of Sandy Cape. With shrinking leeway, both Cato and Porpoise grounded.
Bridgewater sailed on, despite knowing that the other two vessels had come to grief. The crew and passengers of the wrecked vessels were able to land on a sandbank as both their ships broke up.
On 26 August 1803 with no sign of rescue, Porpoise passenger Matthew Flinders and Captain John Park of Cato took the largest cutter (which they named Hope), and twelve crewmen and headed to Sydney to seek rescue. Through marvelous navigation, Hope made it to Port Jackson by 8 September. Although three lives had been lost in the joint shipwreck, Шаблон:Ship, and the schooners Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:Ship, were able to rescue all the remaining passengers.Шаблон:Sfnp Rolla then took the people she had rescued to Canton.Шаблон:Sfnp
