Career

In 1788 Broderick was a Greenland whaler in the Davis Strait. Lloyd's List reported on 18 July 1788 that Broderick had returned to Shields having caught five "fish".[3] A year later she returned from the Davis's Streights with seven large "fish".[4]

On 23 January 1806, Broderick ran afoul of Jenny's Adventure, of Sunderland, off the Yorkshire coast, sinking her immediately.[5] Three crew from Jenny's Adventure were killed.

Lloyd's List reported on 15 June 1824 that the crew of Hyperion, of Shields, had abandoned her in the Atlantic Ocean. Broderick rescued the crew.[6]

In 1834, Broderick, R. Peart, master and owner, sustained damages requiring repairs. At the time she was trading between Newcastle and the Baltic.[2]

In 1845 Broderick was sailing between Shields and the Baltic and then Shields and America. Her master was W. Carr, and her owner R. Peart. She had undergone small repairs in 1839 and a large repair in 1842.[1]

Fate

Broderick is last listed in 1866 with T. Hopper, master, and S. Hewson, owner, and with trade London—Shields. That information had not changed since at least 1860 and may have been stale-dated.
