Johanna (East Indiaman)

Johanna (or Joanna) was an East Indiaman for the British East India Company (EIC), possibly named for the island of Anjouan, then known as Johanna.

[1] For her sixth voyage, Johanna was under the command of Captain Robert Brown.

[1] She left the Downs on 24 February 1682, and wrecked near the Cape Agulhas on 8 June 1682, while in a convoy to India with four other ships.

Ten persons lost their lives, while the remaining 104 were able to make their way to Cape Town.

Dutch East India Company Governor of the Cape Simon van der Stel immediately despatched a recovery expedition led by Olof Bergh that recovered some of it.
