In 1802, the American Captain Isaac Pendleton set sail for Australia from Stonington, Connecticut, USA in the Brig “Union” in search of seals. Early the following year Pendleton met the French explorer, Captain Nicolas Baudin who recommended Kangaroo Island as a place where seals could be found in abundance. Much of that information was previously given to Baudin by the English explorer Captain Matthew Flinders. Arriving at what is now known as Eastern Cove on the north coast of Kangaroo Island, Pendleton made the decision to winter here on the shores of near what is now the township of American River. He decided to build a small schooner to permit inshore work and to increase the number of seals that could be caught. Daniel Wright, Union's 1st Officer, was put in charge and the schooner was constructed between April and August 1803. Thus was born the Schooner “Independence”, 45 foot long, 35 tons. The first vessel built in South Australia. Thirty three years before South Australia even existed.
