Diana
Diana was one of the whaleships that took part in the tragic attack on Te Pahi's pa in the Bay of Islands in late March 1810. Mistakenly attacking the wrong man and his people, the six whale ships and their combined crew of 200 men, destroyed the village and killed about sixty innocent people.
Diana, Captain William Parker, had come from the whale fishery and sailed on to Sydney two weeks later. In September 1829 a ship called Diana was again at the Bay of Islands on her way whaling, this time her master was Captain Palmer.
