Corea (ship)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Corea was an armed store ship of the British Royal Navy. It had a capacity of 336 tons. It was captured by New Bedford fishermen during the American Revolution, and later served as a whaling ship in the Pacific Ocean, with a home port of New London, Connecticut.

It ended its career when it was intentionally sunk as part of the Stone Fleet in 1861 during the Civil War.
