Martha was launched at Quebec in 1810. In 1818 she transported convicts to Port Jackson, New South Wales. She remained in the South Pacific as a whaler until she was condemned in 1820 as unseaworthy and then sold for breaking up.

Career

Martha entered Lloyd's Register in 1811 with J. Wilson, master, and trade London—Grenada.^[1] She then continued to trade with Grenada for some years.

The 1818 volume of Lloyd's Register showed Martha{{'}}s master as changing from Driver to J.Apsey, and her trade as London—India. However, on 18 August 1818 Martha left Cork, bound for New South Wales.{{sfn|Hackman|2001|p=296}} She was under the command of Captain John Apsey and her surgeon was Morgan Price. She arrived at Port Jackson on 24 December.{{sfn|Bateman|1959|pp=292–3}} She had embarked 170 male convicts, none of whom died en route.{{sfn|Bateman|1959|p=328}} Lieutenant Cockerill commanded the guard,which consisted of 32 men of the 67th and 87th Regiments of Foot.

Apsey had Martha refitted for whale fishing. She left Sydney on 1 March 1819. She arrived at Hobart on 18 September, after having been whaling for some time. She was to leave in a week for the coasts of New Zealand to gather sperm oil.^[2] By 21 December, when she arrived at the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, she already was nearly full. However, within a few days Apsey went out for more whales.

Fate

On 29 May 1820, Martha arrived at Port Jackson in distress, Following “boisterous weather”.^[3] She was surveyed in June and condemned as unseaworthy. She was sold for breaking up in August.{{sfn|Hackman|2001|p=296}} The whaler Tuscan, Captain Coleman (or Colman), undertook to carry Martha{{'}}s oil back to London. Lloyd's List reported on 6 February 1821 that Tuscan had arrived in the Thames with the cargo from Martha.^[4]
