1808 · Revenge on the Parramatta

The Parramatta was a French vessel that was taken over by the British. After the capture, Captain Glynn eventually led the ship to the Bay of Islands to stop for provisions. The New Zealand Natives offered them a large amount of food, including fish, pork, and potatoes, filling the Parramatta's storage almost to capacity. As Captain Glynn prepared to take off, the Natives boarded the ship to inquire about payment for their goods. The crew responded harshly by throwing the Natives aboard and shooting at them as the boat pushed off from the coast. However, an unexpected wind sent the Parramatta directly onto a large bed of rocks. The Natives quickly made their way onto the wrecked ship to have their revenge; they killed the crew and plundered all the possessions they could find.

1819 · Panic! of 1819

With the Aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars the global market for trade was down. During this time, America had its first financial crisis and it lasted for only two years.
