Defiance (1802 ship)
Defiance was a French vessel that first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1803 with N.Long, master, Gibbons & Co., owners, and trade London–South Seas.[1] That is, she intended to sail as a whaler. She sailed for the South Seas on 7 December 1802, but immediately put into Ramsgate, having sustained damage when she ran on to the Brake.[2] She was driven ashore and wrecked on the coast of France in late December 1802. Captain Nathan Long (of Nantucket), her mate, and seven other crew drowned; 21 crew survived.[3][4][5]
