Minerva
Minerva’s first visit to New Zealand was under Captain John Bell when she arrived in early 1822 on a trading voyage. After her stop at the Bay of Islands, Minerva sailed for America.
In 1828, Minerva, Captain Young, arrived from Sydney to the Bay of Islands, seeking to trade produce. The following February, Philip Tapsell arrived as captain of Minerva. He had on board 60 tuns of oil but the vessel was in a leaky condition.
Later that year, Captain Lewis sailed Minerva from Sydney for the last time, and she was reported by Hind in December to have been wrecked on a reef in Tonga.
