Phoenix (East Indiaman)
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
The Phoenix was a ship of the British East India Company, involved in the sea otter trade in the Pacific. Her captain was Hugh Moore, and her home port was Bombay. She is known to have visited the Pacific Northwest in 1792, and wintered in the Columbia River in 1794. She is the namesake of the Phoenix, the first ship built in the Russian colony of Alaska by Alexandr Baranov.
This may be the same ship mentioned in The History of Sumatra from Project Gutenberg.
