## Career

Gardner & Joseph first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) for 1802 with Js.Allen, master, Foggintons, owner, and trade Hull–Davis Strait.[1] (Later LR corrected the burthen to 372 tons and the ownership to Eggingtons.)

In 1802, Gardiner and Joseph brought in the second largest catch of the season.[3]

On 4 March 1803 Lloyd's List (LL) reported that Holderness and Gardner & Joseph had been on their way to Davis Strait when they had had to put back to Hull having lost anchors and cables, and having sustained other damage.[4]

The following data is from Coltish,[5] supplemented by data from LR and the Register of Shipping (RS):

Year  | Master  | Where  | Whales  | Tuns whale oil

|

|
|

1802  | Allen  | Davis Strait  |  | 200
1803  | Allen  | Davis Strait  |  | 75
1804  | Allen  | Davis Strait  |  | 165
1805  | Storey[2] | Davis Strait  |
1806[lower-alpha 1] | J.Storey  | Davis Strait  | 12  | 182
1807[lower-alpha 2] | J.Storey  | Davis Strait  |  | 193
1808  | J.Storey
J.Dick  | Davis Strait  |  | 227

Gardner & Joseph was off Whitby from Davis Strait on 8 August 1808, and she arrived back at Hull on 10 August.[7]

Both LR and the RS for 1809 (published in 1808), showed her master as J. Dick and that she had had damages repaired in 1806. However, LR now showed her trade as Hull–Quebec.

## Fate

In November 1808 Gardiner and Joseph was driven ashore in the Saint Lawrence River.[8] Gardner and Joseph was on a voyage from Quebec City to London.[9]

Her owners replaced her with another ship, Gardiner and Joseph, launched at Hull in 1810.
