Will be interesting to see if this is the same "Minerva" that the guys came out here in 1800.
Not according to wiki. See my reply #22.
The Minerva which sailed to Australia 1799-1800 disappeared in unknown circumstances during first decade of 19thC. That Minerva has her own wiki page.
The Minerva which transported convicts 1817-24 ended her life in 1826.
There may have been 5 ships named Minerva existing in 1830. Records are incomplete.
Ships were sometimes renamed when they were sold.
The goddess Minerva was patron of trade and defensive warfare, among a list of other things.
