Warre (1802 ship)was launched at
Kingston upon Hull in 1802. She initially primarily traded with the Baltic. From late 1806 to 1811 she was under charter to the
Transportation Board. During this period she participated in the British
invasion of the River Plate. Between 1812 and 1813 she made a voyage as a
whaler in the British
southern whale fishery. When she returned to London, her master discovered that both sets of owners had gone bankrupt while she was at sea. This resulted in a court case to determine who now owned the cargo. Warre then returned to trading widely until she was wrecked in 1823 in ice in the Baltic. Her remains were discovered in 2020, photographed, and documented in 2022.
Warre was launched in 1817 at Newcastle. Her entry in Lloyd's Register (LR) carried the annotation "Lost".[1]Warre, Bradley, master, departed from
Saint Petersburg,
Russia, on 16 September 1817, bound for
London. Presumed subsequently foundered off
Memel,
Prussia with the loss of all hands.[2]
