William Lee (ship)

At least two vessels have been named William Lee:

  • William Lee (1831 ship) was launched in 1831 in Hull as a whaler in the Northern Whale Fishery. Her owners sold her in 1836 after six whaling voyages and she traded more widely, to Russia, Calcutta, and North America. She was wrecked in December 1847.
  • William Lee (1836 ship) was a bark of 311 tons (bm), built as a whaler in 1836. She is mentioned in Melville's poem as the Lee.[1] She ended up being sunk in the Stone fleet.
