About Canada
Canada was launched at King's Yard in 1779, for the Royal Navy, which sold her circa 1782, at the end of the war. Her name while in Royal Navy service is unknown as of November 2022. John St Barbe purchased her and named her Adriatic, but renamed her Canada circa 1786. She made three seal hunting and whaling voyages between 1791 and 1799, under that name. On the first of these a French privateer captured her, but a British merchant ship recaptured her. She was lost at South Georgia in 1800, on her fourth voyage to the southern whale fishery.
