Janus
The whaler Janus worked in New Zealand waters in the early 1820’s having first arrived at Sydney from Rio in 1820. She left Sydney on 26 July and after 13 weeks at sea, arrived at the Bay of Islands. One of her crew was sick, so Captain Mowatt sent him in a ship’s boat to the christian mission station for assistance.
On 27 October, Janus departed from the Bay of Islands. Her next visit was in early January 1821, when several whale ships were at the Bay. Later that year she arrived back in New Zealand, still under the guidance of Captain Mowatt and on 09 November 1821 she departed New Zealand for England.
