The Governor Ready was a schooner captained by John Scott. In October 1829, the ship rescued the survivors of the wreck of the Swiftsure, which included survivors from the wreck of the Mermaid. Later that day, the Governor Ready sunk when the Seventh Doctor set the ship on fire. Everyone survived the wreck, and they were rescued by the Comet. (PROSE: Of the Mermaid and Jupiter)
