Jenny's Adventure (1757)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jenny's Adventure was a trawler and whaler in the 1780s to the very early 1800s. It had many masters over the years, and is notable for being sunk by the Broderick, the very ship which in 1824 saved the Hyperion's crew from their certain death at sea.[4]
