Abstract Elizabeth Morey is believed to have been the first woman castaway in the Pacific Islands. The ship on which she was travelling, the Portland, was cut off in Tonga in 1802 and most of the crew murdered. She lived for the next two years with the chief, Teukava, until she escaped heroically on the Union, which was also the subject of Tongan assault. There is evidence that Morey had borne two children in Tonga before her escape, and subsequently returned to Tonga for the birth of a third. Evidence is also presented that she was an American, from Massachusetts, orphaned at an early age. She joined the Portland in Cape Town, probably by prior arrangement with the Portland's captain, Lovett Mellen, whose family was connected with her own. Mellen broke several laws in three jurisdictions in an apparently desperate endeavour to get to Cape Town and from there to South America, lending support to a theory of a romantic conspiracy with Morey.

The Journal of Pacific History is a refereed international journal serving historians, prehistorians, anthropologists and others interested in the study of mankind in the Pacific Islands (including Hawaii and New Guinea), and is concerned generally with political, economic, religious and cultural factors affecting human presence there. It publishes articles, annotated previously unpublished manuscripts, notes on source material and comment on current affairs. It also welcomes articles on other geographical regions, such as Africa and Southeast Asia, or of a theoretical character, where these are concerned with problems of significance in the Pacific.
