Biographies

RAINE, JOHN (1786?-1837), speculator and merchant, was the brother of Captain Thomas Raine. He was educated at Westminster School and articled to solicitors in Chancery Lane, London. Bearing a letter of recommendation from Lord Erskine, he arrived at Hobart Town with his wife, mother and brother in November 1819 in the Regalia, of which he said he was the 'principal freighter'. He went on to Sydney and there chartered the ship and equipped her for whale fishing from the Derwent. After the partial failure of this enterprise he sent her to Macquarie Island to collect sea-elephant oil, which in August 1821 he took to England in her, together with sixty-one bales of wool, the first exported from Van Diemen's Land, where up to this time it had been badly neglected. Before leaving he had begun to run voyages with passengers and merchandise between Sydney and Hobart, and these he carried on with several ships until his death. He also received a grant of 2000 acres (809 ha) in the Derwent valley.
