Woodman (ship)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Several vessels have been named Woodman:

  • Woodman (1804 ship) was launched in Newcastle in 1804. She sailed as a coaster. A French privateer captured her in 1811, but the Royal Navy recaptured her immediately. She was last listed in 1815 but may have been lost a year or two before.
  • Woodman (1808 ship) was launched at Gainsborough. She traded with northern Spain and then became a West Indiaman, and later a government transport. From 1816 on she made several voyages to India and South East Asia, sailing under a licence from the British East India Company (EIC). She also made two voyages transporting convicts, one to New South Wales (NSW) in 1823 and one to Van Diemen's Land in 1825. She was lost in 1836.
