Pocklington
Captain Jones was in the Bay of Islands on Pocklington in early 1824. He departed the bay in February, and was headed for the fishery.
It wasn’t until 13 months later on 26 March 1825, that Jones sailed Pocklington back into the Bay, having taken 130 tons of sperm whale oil. The following month when they sailed for Sydney on 13 April, Jones had on board the Missionary William Hall, and survivors of the wreck of the ship Mercury.
