Daniel Bennett purchased Lune to sail her as a whaler.
Whaling voyage (1817–1819): Captain William Coffin sailed from London on 20 September 1817, bound for the southern whale fishery. In late 1818 Lune was at Desolation Island. At some point Captain George Woodward replaced William Coffin. Homeward bound, Lune, Woodward, master, was at Saint Helena on 18 May 1819, and sailed for London on 20 May. Lune, Woodman, master, arrived back at Gravesend on 21 July with 450 casks of whale oil.[3]
Fate
Lune was last listed in 1820 with data unchanged from 1818.
