| has gloss | eng: The 25-ton sloop Norfolk, built in 1798, was the only ship built on Norfolk Island during its first period as a convict settlement. The tall Norfolk Pine trees had attracted interest by the Royal Navy in the 1770s and the island was originally settled in part to supply timber for masts and spars, so it is ironic that this small ship was the only one built there. |
