Phoenix, or Phenix, was an American wooden whaler, launched in 1821.
She plied the Pacific Ocean from her homeport of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
On 10 January 1836 the crew was ashore and left graffiti carved into rocks there.
While in the Galapagos islands the crew also gathered tortoises to eat, perhaps as many as 140.
[3] Between 1821 and 1858, Phoenix made 11 whaling voyages:[4] Phoenix was lost on Elbow Island[5] in the Sea of Okhotsk on 12 October 1858, about 100 miles from Ayan.
