Description |
English: The Discovery Convict ship (lying at Deptford). The vessel which accompanied Capt. Cook on his last voyage A plate from Cooke's 'Shipping and Craft'. The inscribed information about this vessel being used by Captain Cook is incorrect. Cook's ship was an earlier vessel of the name and like all his Pacific ships a purchased north-east coast collier: this one is Vancouver's, built in by Randall & Brent at Rotherhithe as a merchantman and purchased while under construction by the Admiralty for Vancouver's voyage to the American north-west coast. After launch in 1790 she was moved just downstream to Deptford Dockyard for fitting out and ZBA4286 is the only known drawing of her, apparently done while that was in progress. After considerable other service she was much later converted by building up as shown to become a a convict hulk on the Thames. See also PAF5976. |
