Proteus

In Early January 1833, Proteus, Captain Brown arrived at Sydney with 200 tons of sperm whale oil that had been procured in the South Seas fishery. 

In 1836, Proteus was again working in New Zealand waters and the following year she was grounded at Moeraki but the crew managed to free her before any serious damage could be done. Proteus then loaded oil at Otago and sailed for Sydney.
