Harpooner (1769 ship)

[4] Apparently Harpooner was not irretrievably lost as she entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1801 with Kneeshaw, master, Richeson, owner, and trade London–St Petersburg.

[6][a] The 1816 volume of LR showed Harpooner with J. Simpson, master, changing to J. Briant, Richardson, owner, and trade London transport.

[2] Harpooner, Bryant, master, was wrecked on 10 November 1816 at Cape Pine, Newfoundland, with the loss of 208 of the 385 people on board.

[8][b] The military records of Captain Mathew Henry Willock, of the 103rd Regiment, show that in 1817 he received a medal from His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and the Royal Humane Society for saving the lives of troops under lord Howard of Effingham's command on board Harpooner.
