Calder (1821 ship)

In July he sailed her to Hobart Town via Acheh with cargo and four prisoners, and arriving on 28 September.

Grounding: In January 1823 Dillon sent Calder to Coal River under the command of his Chief Mate, William Worth, to bring back logs.

On 24 January Calder was driven ran aground on a reef off Nobbys Island.

Before he sailed away, Dillon left David Whippey with Vunivalu (Chief) Naulivou at Bau.

[a] By 1828 the vessel that had been Calder was under the ownership of John Duncan, an English merchant at Valparaiso, He named her Indefatigable and appointed Joseph Hunter as her master.

The crew, in addition to the captain, consisted of two European officers and two or three seamen, and a Bengali steward who had sailed with the captain for many years, and half a dozen or more Chilenos recruited shortly before Indefatigable left harbour.

Reportedly, the Chilenos resented the discipline on the ship and within a week of her departure were plotting mutiny.

The locals imprisoned them, believing that they were escaped convicts that had recently visited the islands and conducted depredations after having been treated hospitably.

[14] The mutineers ordered Loftgreen to steer to Guam, not realizing that Spain had actually occupied the island.

The British frigate HMS Rainbow happened to arrive at San Luis d'Apra shortly thereafter.

[15] Eventually Loftgreen was able to secure passage to Macao, and from there to Sydney on board Nimrod.
