Summary edit
DescriptionLelia Byrd.jpg |
English: The Lelia Byrd records as a "fast, Virginia-built brig of 175 tons". She was purchased at Hamburg, Germany, by Richard J. Cleveland and William Shaler, of Salem, and overhauled and refitted. They drew lots for positions, Cleveland becoming master and Shaler, supercargo, or business agent, and decided to enter the Northwest fur trade. The ship was briefly detained by the Spanish during the Battle of San Diego Bay. She brought the first horses to Hawaii in 1803 and was sold to King Kamehameha I in exchange for his schooner Tamana and a cargo of sandalwood in 1805. She wound up in the opium trade in the Orient and rotted away on Whampoa Beach. |
