Prince Regent
Prince Regent was the colonial schooner that accompanied HMS Dromedary to New Zealand in 1820 as tender. Her captain was J.R. Kent and over the years he came to sail many different ships into the Bay of Islands. While Prince Regent was at the Bay, the chief officer of whale ship Indian died and some of the tender’s crew may have joined in the funeral procession of whaleboats as they made their way across the bay to the burial site. By September Prince Regent was ready to head back to Sydney, but Captain Kent was forced to turn his ship back when it was discovered that she was leaking badly.
Another Australian ship called Prince Regent called at the Bay of Islands at the end of the same year. This ship was a whaler from Sydney and Derwent, under the command of Captain Anderson.
