Notes	Sydney Gazette and NSW Advertiser , 15 December 1835 , MUTINY AT SEA. 'A mutiny broke out in the month of November last, on board the barque Manly, Capt. J. Davies, master, while at sea ... The vessel sailed from London on a whaling expedition to the South Seas, in August last, with a crew of 25 men, but in consequence of the mutiny was obliged to put into Buenos Ayres, from whence she arrived in the St. Katharine's,dock. On the 7th of December the vessel arrived in the River Plate, and anchored close to his Majesty's ship North Star, Captain Vernon Harcourt commander. An inquiry then took place, from which it appeared,that the mutineers intended to have taken the vessel to Justan de Cuna. The depositions were taken before the British Consul at Buenos Ayres and Captain Harcourt ; and the three officers, George White; William Burwood, Joseph Burwood, together with Breyman, boat,steerer, and Henry Best, were instantly placed under unrest on board the North Star, from whence they are expected shortly to arrive in custody to take their trials at the Admiralty Sessions. The proceedings against the other men were dropped, from the great expense attending their removal to England with the necessary evidence ; but Captain Harcourt undertook to detain them until the departure of the Manly. The Manly is a fine vessel, and there was every prospect of a profitable voyage. She was formerly a,14,gun brig, and was well provided with arms and ammunition, which is supposed to have excited the crew to mutiny, as being well adapted for a piratical expedition.'

The dropdown menus beside the Search button will limit your search to a single database or single entity (masters, vessels...) You can use either dropdown separately or both together.

Multiple words

The search engine treats multiple words as if they were combined with AND. For example, if you enter

Morgan Charles

you will find any records that contain both

Morgan
