Active was the French ship Alsace that the Royal Navy captured in 1803. William Bennett purchased her and named her Active, in place of a previous Active that had been lost in January 1803. She then made one whaling voyage for him. Bennett sold her to Robins & Co., and she sailed between London and Buenos Aires. She then sailed on a second sealing voyage. She was lost in 1810.

Career

{{HMS|Aigle|1801|6}} captured the French ship Alsace in 1803.[1]

Active is first listed in Lloyd's Register in 1804,[2] and in the Register of Shipping in 1805.[3] Both show her master as L. Blair, her owner as Bennett, and her trade as London to the South Seas Fishery.

{{see also|List of ships owned by Daniel Bennett & Son}}

Captain Lewis Blair acquired a letter of marque on 28 April 1804.[4] He sailed from England on 10 May 1804, bound for the Island of Desolation. Active was reported to be at Portsmouth on 22 June, still outward bound. She was reported to have been at the Island in March 1805. She returned to England on 17 September 1805.[5]

Bennett sold Active to Robins & Co. Lloyd's Register for 1806 shows Active{{'}}s master changing from Blair to T. Paylor, and her master from Bennett to Robins & Co.[6]

Lloyd's Register for 1807 shows Active, with T. Paylor, master, Robins & Co., owner, and trade London—Buenos Aires.[7] The next year her captain changed from T. Paylor to Oates. Owner and trade remained unchanged.[8]

Captain John Baden (or Baker, or Bader), sailed from England on 27 September 1808.[5] The Register of Shipping for 1809 shows Active{{'}}s master as J. Bader and her trade as London to the Fishery.[9]

Loss

Active was under the command of Captain John Bader when it was driven ashore in Westernport Bay, Australia on 11 June 1809. No crew were lost. She was refloated and sailed to Sydney, arriving on 24 July. There she underwent repairs, including receiving new masts. On 11 December 1809 Active, again under the command of Bader and with a sealing party aboard, headed for the Open Bay Islands on the west coast of New Zealand. Bader landed a sealing party on a small island on 16 February 1810 then Active set sail for Sydney. She was never seen again.

The sealing party remained stranded until in 1813 Governor Bligh rescued them. The survivors returned to Sydney on 15 December 1813.[10][11]

Post script

During 1847, a Nelson newspaper reported that a sealing party had discovered the hull of a brig surrounded by bushes near Bluff Point in Southland. Items found nearby suggested that it was likely to be the wreck of Active, possibly run ashore with sails set during a period of limited visibility.[12]

The song, Davy Low'ston, tells the story of the sealing party's ordeal.[13][14]

Registers

Lloyd's Register and the Register of Shipping carry inconsistent information that indicates the possibility there was a third Active operating at the time that the registers conflated with the other two.
