Goéland was the name ship of a two-vessel class of "brick-avisos" (advice brigs), built to a design by Raymond-Antoine Haran and launched in 1787. She served the French Navy for several years carrying dispatches until in 1793 Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS captured her off Jérémie. The Royal Navy took her into service briefly as Goelan and sold her in 1794. As the merchant brig Brothers she appears to have sailed as a whaling ship in the British southern whale fishery until 1808 or so, and then traded between London and the Шаблон:Not a typo. She is no longer listed after 1815.

French service

Lieutenant de vaisseau Le Tourneur carried dispatches from Brest to Newfoundland and St Pierre (probably Saint Pierre and Miquelon) on a voyage that lasted from 12 June 1790 until 3 November.[1] The renowned French naval officer, Jean-Marthe-Adrien l'Hermite served on her as a junior officer on one of these voyages when she escorted the fishing fleet from Granville to Newfoundland.[2]

On 12 September 1791 Goéland was at Brest, under the command of sous-lieutenant de vaisseau Le Dall de Kerangalet.[3]

In April 1793 Goéland was sailing from Cap-Français to Jérémie while under the command of lieutenant de vaisseau Leissègues de Pennenyum.[4] Early on the 16th Leissègues was seeking to enter the bay while searching for a convoy he was to escort when he observed an enemy frigate at the entrance.Шаблон:Efn The British frigate immediately set out to drive Goéland on shore. At 7a.m. she received her first shots and by 9.a.m. the British frigate was no more than pistol-shot away. Goéland fired back, but resistance was futile. Leissègues was forced to strike to the frigate Penelope.[5] Proserpine shared with Penelope in the prize money, suggesting that she was in company with Penelope, or in sight.[6]Шаблон:Efn

Royal Navy

The British took Goéland into service as Goelan. Commander Thomas Wolley was appointed GoelanШаблон:'s captain at Jamaica.

In September 1793, at the request of French Royalists, Commodore John Ford took a squadron and attacked Saint-Domingue and Jérémie in the Caribbean.[7] On 23 September 1793 the British captured four merchant vessels at L'Islet, and on the 29th seven at Flamande Bay. At Môle-Saint-Nicolas, on 23 September, Шаблон:HMS, Goelan, and Шаблон:HMS captured the Convention Nationale, among other vessels.[8]

In December command passed to Lieutenant George Hopewell Stephens (temp), who sailed Goelan to Portsmouth, arriving on 27 August 1794.[9]

Whaling

Goelan was offered for sale at Sheerness in 1794.[10] She was sold at Portsmouth on 16 October 1794 for £590. Her buyers renamed her Brothers and used her in commerce.[9]

Brothers, of 242 tons (bm), Anderson, master, and Mather & Co. owners, was employed in the South Sea Whale Fishery between 1796 and 1798. She sailed in February 1796 and returned in December. She was reported off the coast of Brazil in January 1797, returning to Britain in 1797 and sailing again in October.[11]

Under Captain William Smith she was employed in the South Sea Whale Fishery in 1798. She was on the protection list for 1799, returning in May.[11]

Lloyd's Register for 1799 shows a Brothers, French-built, 13 years old, and 242 tons (bm). This vessel continues in commercial service until at least 1813. She is no longer listed in 1816. The information in Lloyd's Register is not entirely consistent with that from other sources for the period 1799 to 1808, but does overlap them to a great degree.

Captain Thomas Folger sailed Brothers to the South Seas in October 1802. At that time she was valued at £5,500. She was reported "all well" off the coast of Chile in March 1803. Cyrus recorded in her logs that Brother was returning in July 1804 from the Pacific with 150 tons of sperm oil.[11]

In September Brothers sailed from Britain under the command of Captain W. Perry for Mather & Co. and Elliot. She was in the Fishery in 1805, left St Helena in January 1806, and returned to Britain in April 1806.[11]

Under the command of Captain Oliver Russell, Brothers whaled in Australian waters in 1807. She was reported at the Cape of Good Hope in April 1807, homeward bound from the South Seas. She returned to Britain in September 1807.[11]
