Duke of York was a fir-built ship of 500 tons (bm), built in 1780 at Archangel. In 1787 her owner was "Hitchie", her master "Jn Wolff", and her trade London—South Seas, indicating that she was a whaler.[1] More accurately, her master was John Wolfe,Шаблон:Sfnp Woolf, or Wolf, and her owner Richard Cadman Etches.Шаблон:Sfnp She sailed on 21 April 1787 for the South Seas.[2]
