Shipping prior to 1800
Po = Portugal, Nl = Netherlands, Br = Britain, Fr = France, Au = Austria, US = United States of America. Visitors to Tristan may also have been to Gough. Towards the end of the 18th Century, there also have been many unrecorded visits of whalers and sealers, often from the US. Numbers in the column 'source' refer to: 1. Brander (1940,1952), 2. Bruijn et al. (1979), 3. Gray Birch (1875), 4. Headland (1992), 5. Coolhaas (1964), 6. Milner & Brierly (1869), 7. Oliver (1891), 8. Smith (1991), 9. D'Après de Mannevillette (1775), 10. Stapel (1927), 11. Faustini (undated), 12. Purdy (1816), 13. Malhão Pereira (2001), 14. Soeiro de Brito et al (1992).
