Anne

Anne, alternatively spelled Ann, is a form of the Latin female given name Anna. This in turn is a representation of the Hebrew Hannah, the name of the mother of the prophet Samuel. Anne is a common name in France.

It is sometimes used as a male name in the Netherlands (for example Anne de Vries). It has also been used for males in France (Anne de Montmorency) and Scotland (Lord Anne Hamilton).

Ann (1797 ship)

Ann (or Anne) was built of teak in Batavia in 1797. How she came into British hands is currently unclear. In 1809 she made a voyage transporting convicts to New South Wales for the British government. On her return voyage she carried cargo for the British East India Company (EIC) from Calcutta to London. She then became a West Indiaman, trading between London and Jamaica.

Convict transport and EIC voyage (1809-1811)

Ann left Spithead on 25 August 1809, under the command of Captain Charles Clarke. She arrived at Port Jackson on 21 June. Before his departure, Clarke received a letter of marque on 21 June 1809.Ann stopped in at Rio de Janeiro around 15 November and arrived at Port Jackson on 17 or 27 February 1810.

Ann transported 200 male convicts, but unloaded two before departure. One died on the way and she landed 197 in Sydney. A detachment of the 73rd Regiment of Foot provided the guard. Among her passengers were the Reverend Samuel Marsden and the Maori chief Ruatara.

After she left Port Jackson Ann sailed for Bengal, and was at Calcutta by 21 September 1810. Homeward bound, she passed Saugor on 24 November, reached St Helena on 20 February 1811, and on 26 April was at East India Dock, in London.

Liebigs Annalen

Justus Liebig's Annalen der Chemie (often cited as just Liebigs Annalen) was one of the oldest and historically most important journals in the field of organic chemistry worldwide. It was established in 1832 and edited by Justus von Liebig with Friedrich Wöhler until Liebig's death in 1873.

In 1997 the journal merged with Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas to form Liebigs Annalen/Recueil. In 1998 it was absorbed by European Journal of Organic Chemistry by merger of a number of other leading national European chemistry journals.
