Genii
One of Johnny Jones’s vessels at the height of his entrepreneurial whaling days, Genii worked off the coast of the South Island during the 1830's. In the former years, her master was Captain Wells who took her on a whaling voyage to the sperm fishery, arriving back in Sydney in April 1833 with 80 tons of oil.
By 1836, her command had transferred to Captain Catlin and he sailed her around the coasts of Southland and Otago and the islands in Foveaux Strait transporting oil and delivering stores to Johnny Jones’s many shore stations. When she arrived in Sydney in November 1836 Genii had on board 1000 barrels of oil.
